Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003	I think it might be a juvie Parambassis gulliveri, so-named because it attains a larger size than most other Parambassis. Even then, it is by no means a "tank buster", attaining a maximum size of about 20cm. The yellow and dark coloration in the fins, as well as the mottled coloration on the body (if you look hard you can see it) very closely resembles Parambassis gulliveri. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003	Here's a website I found with a fish called Macquaria novemaculeata, which is pretty close. The main difference is that these fish have noticeable black coloration on the dorsal fins, while your fish don't. http://thatfishshop.com/findex/fish/macquaria_novemaculeata.htm I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Calilasseia Ultimate Fish Guru Panda Funster Posts: 5496 Kudos: 2828 Votes: 731 Registered: 10-Feb-2003	Eagle, that's what led me to look at Pomoxis annularis I have some familiarity with native American fishes (though not as much as I'd like). Oddball Australian natives are, pardon the pun, a different kettle of fish. Outside the Rainbow Fishes and a couple of gobies, Australian freshwater fishes are a field awaiting exploration from my standpoint. Panda Catfish fan and keeper/breeder since Christmas 2002
