Well as some of you know I lost my ebjd.

I have gone out and picked his replacement, meet my new vieja melanura (I believe that’s the correct name) sold as a Syns.

I’m hoping this guy/gal lightens up quite a bit as it might be the darkest mel/syns I’ve ever seen.

meet “sunset boulevard”, in retrospect it might not be the best name for such a dark fish! Haha

Looks more like a Synspilum to me. Either way, looks promising. Get us some better pics! ?

I believe synspilum and melanura were determined to be the same species with the same DNA. The syns and mel might be referring to color variations/locations??? Someone feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

I I’ll def try to get some better pictures :).....tomorrow...I just shut all my tanks off for the night
