nice find! sorry if this is derailing but can someone point out the ways to distinguish leichardti and jardinis? what are the obvious physical signs because to my untrained eye i can't notice much.
wow. i can actually tell the differnce from the be4 and after pictures. it seems like it got a lot bulkier. and plus the red spots came out a lot this time.
piscavore- jardinis turn black when bigger with red at the end of every scale. leichartdis dont have barbells bright silver color with a red spot in the center of every scale also when bbigger the fins may be red depending on other ****
If you look real close @ shot 1 & 2, they do have barbles. Steve's lei has barbles, and another pic that was posted recently also had a pair. Little different shape though.
Here's a fish that was owned by Rich (AQUAFAN) sometime ago. Hope you don't mind Rich me posting pictures of your old fish. Had to keep this in the archive =-)
Hopefully mine will grow to look like this at 16-17" ...
