Khuli?
All I see is a young leporinus fasciatus…just about my favorite freshwater fish!
The red banded Leps when full grown are insane looking! They have a trunk like snout and orange and black bands. Very neat looking.

Yep! I could see striped kuhlis attemping to shoal with a red-banded leporinus if they were kept together, because of that pattern similarity ?
