Thanks for the replies. Aussienative I believe you are right, thanks

As for this fish, it is not mine. The picture was posted on this site some time ago. I wanted to know which species, because I have to get some.

I believe its a suri, but from what I understand, there's more than one kind...at least that was the impression I was given when trying to determine whether my juvenile Geo is a suri or not. Either way, there are quite a few Geo's that look like suris at a young age, so you might have to do some digging if you are looking to buy juvenile fish.
