Same as you experienced, a few weeks later they had the different looking ones with the vertical stripes. I bought one, but they didn't know what kind it was. I looked around on the web and it appears as if the vertical striped ones are a wild caught version of the Golden Wonder which is a captive bred variety I think.  O Tempora O Mores |

There are litterally hundreds of different killis, from multiple countries. And they are still discovering new ones today. Can you get a pic to post? There is always a bigger fish... |
