it's about the same size as yours Madhu, but i know a lad who got some of the same shipment and his male is a good half inch bigger than mine, from what he's said it's also more aggressive than mine.

found it pretty easy. lol

what do you think of him mate.

mick

thanks for the info Madhu, the denisonii i picked up awhile back aren't that aggresive and there is a dominant male among them , he's nearly half the size bigger than the rest with a massive head and mouth.
i have a pic of him that i took recently if i can find it i'll put it up.

whats their temperament like Madhu ?, they certainly are a pretty schistura the dorsal fin makes them.

mick

theyr'e humpback limias bud, i used them to start the tank of.
the tank is a 36x15x15 inch with a gallonage of just under 30 imperial gallons, its filtered by an internal sera filter and an external fluval 304 and so far everything fine.
