All you have to do now is get a photo of a FF and compare. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith *Attached Image:* Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

SAE's should be kept in groups. So depending on your setup, you will have to make the right choice.

Brengun Big Fish Posts: 355 Kudos: 187 Votes: 110 Registered: 22-Jun-2007	Edited by Brengun Do you mean to say I've had a SAE all this time and not a FF? Coolamundo, no wonder he has such a great temperament. I've done a bit more research. The flying fox scientific name is Epalzeorhynchus kallopterus and the SAE is Crossocheilus Siamensis. There are three varieties of Crossocheilus. The other two differ in that one does not have the black line running all the way into the tail, and the other has a few black dots under the black line.
