But if it's another species than I don't know...:%) -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

Calilasseia Ultimate Fish Guru Panda Funster Posts: 5496 Kudos: 2828 Votes: 731 Registered: 10-Feb-2003	Looks to me like one of the Pygmy Sunfises of the Genus Elassoma. Is it Elassoma zonatum by any chance? Last edited by Calilasseia at 26-Mar-2005 11:20 Panda Catfish fan and keeper/breeder since Christmas 2002

Cup_of_Lifenoodles Fish Guru Posts: 2755 Kudos: 1957 Votes: 30 Registered: 09-Sep-2004	It's an American native with a decieving name, as it is not of it's namesake, but rather in it's own family. Commonly found from Florida northward.

I wrote an article about the Blue Eyed Panaque, so embarrass me if I'm wrong. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

Calilasseia Ultimate Fish Guru Panda Funster Posts: 5496 Kudos: 2828 Votes: 731 Registered: 10-Feb-2003	This one's got me foxed completely. At first sight, I thought "Hey, it's Balitorine hillstream loach" ... then I saw the adipose fin. I can't find any Characiform species that even remotely resembles this. I must have searched something like 2,000 fish photos and I've still drawn a blank. You are evil C_o_L Panda Catfish fan and keeper/breeder since Christmas 2002

I'm stumped.:%) Cup, things like this are why I consider you an FP elite.

To all: Oh, btw, these pics aren't exactly mine to use and will be deleted from the above photobucket account once this is over.

Calilasseia Ultimate Fish Guru Panda Funster Posts: 5496 Kudos: 2828 Votes: 731 Registered: 10-Feb-2003	Oh, now. I notice that we're only getting a head shot of this one. Presumably because the back end would give the game away far too easily. OK, let's see: pelvic fins directly beneath the pectorals, which means we're dealing with an evolutionarily advanced Perciform fish. The most obvious candidate for such a fish would be a Cichlid. And, the only Cichlids I know that are that shape are Crenicichla species (Pike Cichlids). Now, which one? I'm tempted to go with one of the Subgenus Batrachops bottom dwellers here ... I'll take a long shot and go with a juvenile Crenicichla (Batrachops) semifasciata. Panda Catfish fan and keeper/breeder since Christmas 2002
Posted 26-Jan-2006 11:31
Janna Mega Fish Posts: 1386 Registered: 24-Aug-2003	Batrachops — batrachos, Greek noun meaning frog, and ops, Greek noun meaning face or eye. The name alludes to the short broad snout and large mouth of the originally included species. They characteristically have a roundish head, and Crenicichla semifasciata definitely has an upturned mouth. They are unique among Crenicichla in having the shortest snout. I don't think that's what it is.... but of the true ID I haven't the faintest clue. >.< They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes, They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver, So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.
