They're almost identical. Thanks ! Common Names Four-Line Pimodella, White-Striped Pimelodus, White Line Pim, Three-Lined Pimelodid... Here's a pic of him.. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v427/DaFishMan/Cat1.jpg [span class="edited"][Edited by DaFishMan 2004-08-29 21:46][/span] The Amazon Nut...

The site I found the picture on called it a 'white-striped pimelodus.' http://photobucket.com/albums/v417/sirbooks/?action=view&current=39052a9d.jpg And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

The "White---" is a common name for probably 3 or more types of pictus.. Trying to see which specific species it is.. See my pic ? Which one do you think it is ? I thought it was Albo until I seen a pic of Blochii and they're really close.. The Amazon Nut...

I searched both fish, and yours looks a lot like blochii. Is there any chance that the place where you bought your fish can identify it for sure? And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
