[wayne the pain]

Hey MB do you mind posting some pix of your C marulioides I got one that is supposed to be one, but im having doubts. (not meaning to hijack this thread)

 

[hurricane_redbone]

sure thing... hes a bunch :>

Here's mine, what you think it is?

 

[hurricane_redbone]

hmmmm it can be real trick to tell them apart but its definitly either a marulioides or a marulius... (emperor or cobra)

do you have more pics? how big is it?
im leaning more towards cobra to be honest... hows its aggression? can u try to get a side pic... marulius tend to be long and quite skinny... whereas marulioides are quite plump

 

[wayne the pain]

To be honest i think its marulias but just wanted to hear different opinions, it was bought as maruliodes must be about 12" now not seen much aggression out of it. il try an get a side pic.

 

[hurricane_redbone]

well its its 12 inches im pretty sure its a marulius...
hope u have a HUGE tank
those things get like 45 inches or so

u could always wait till it out grows... as it grows itll become easier to tell what it is...
