Sorry bro that's really the only picture I have of it


Thanks for ID


Did a quick google search under that name and came up with something saying T. sp. "orange scribble" could be a variant of T. dhonti.


Going to setup a 20g long and pickup a pair or two next weekend.

no it is it's own species.

Need a side view for positive ID.

Orange Scribble is a variety for a couple of shellies. If they are dhonti, watch out because they are vicious little fish. A 20 might house a pair only, even then you will have to keep an eye on the female for sure.
