What am i?

[Modest_Man]

Is the fish really that elongated, or is it the angle of the photo?

I can tell you several it isn't, but as for what it is...I'm leaning toward zonatus. The can go from a single horizontal band to vertical barring depending on mood.

V. guttulatus if anything pure. More than like a vieja melting pot.

We were thinking a veja cross?Allthough it does have dark stripes most of the time and is wicked nasty.

Have to agree with Santoury, Looks like my Zonatus.

Had a look in Aquarium Atlas and i'd say it looks pretty much like V Zonatus too, AA vol5 page 976

 

[KurseD]

its not ya synspilum its a Vieja bifasciatus

looks like my vieja...if it is, chances are he's/she's gonna be a pain!!

Hey
I just wanted to let you know that if it doesn't work out, I'd be happy to devote one of my 100 gallon tanks to this girl, if you decide it's not for you.
