yes, colors may be faded as the system he is in isnt of the highest quality water, and i had just pulled him out of it and put him in a specimen container. is there a common name for them? any info on them? (size, temperment, water parameters, temp, etc.). i put him in with jack dempseys of about the same size and he kept them on their end of the tank. he is pretty mean so he gets his own tank now.
It appears to me to be some sort of Herichthys judging by what looks to be darker barring on the latter half of the fish, its quite common in that genus.
IVE GOT EXACTLY THE SOME FISH ... IT WAS SOLD TO ME AS A SYNSPILLUM...BUT IVE SINCE GOT SOME PROPER SYNSPILLUM AND HES NOTHING LIKE EM... I'M THINKING THAT THIS COULD BE A BLACK BELT-SYNSPILLUM CROSS. I HOPE I'M WRONG ..BUT IT DEFINATLY HAS GOT VEIJA IN HIM AND THAT MAKES HIM MEAN!!!!
IS HE RED IN THE TAIL AND DOES HIS "BLACK BELT" APPEAR WHEN HE'S PUSHING HIS TANKMATES AROUND???
