houston     Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003   | OK sometime ago, (May or June?) I posted a picture of a fish, asking if it might be a Juvenile Emperor Tetra. The concensus was that it was...well, several months have passed. The fish in question has grown, but is not "turning into an Emperor Tetra". I'm really beginning to think he isn't... Last night at the LFS I asked Don, the fishguy there, and he suspects, just by the desc  but, it could have come in on some plants as an egg? Heck if I know, does anyone else?

Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003  | It's a Bluefin Killie. Yours looks like a very young male, judging by the red coloration in the caudal fin (females usually do not have any red). I made a profile for them [link=here]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/lucaniagoodei.xm The picture in the profile doesn't work, but here's what it's supposed to be (my male Bluefin Killie).

pugperson Fish Addict Posts: 877 Kudos: 953 Votes: 293 Registered: 16-May-2003 | Not a white cloud. I have both normal and golden wcmms and they don't look like Houston's mystery fish. |

| houston Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003 | Thanks CoryAddict...I can see how he is beginning to look like the Killie now  Hard to believe s/he came in with plants...i figured it was an emperor fry at first, and others agreed...So yes, I'll go with the Killie, and I guess I'll keep it why not This is the reason it can't be a whitecloud or goldenwhitecloud...pic comparison...thanks leslie, these are her white clouds... houston attached this image:  "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom."

I found a very nice picture online for comparison: [link=http://f21.aaa.livedoor.jp/~niobu/pic4/DSCN7103s.jpg]http://f21.aaa.livedoor.jp/~niobu/pic4/DSCN7103s.jpg" style="COLOR: #808080[/link] I'm not a killifish guy, but they look pretty close to me. |
