Nice fish. I can see why its easy to get these confused with B. almorhae, especailly when B. almorhae are adults.

Hi Mark which ones are they, river wise ? these are the same as Micks !
mine seem quite different i.e deeper of body and a more yellowish colour with cleanish breaks between the bars !
I suppose in time we could do with logging the different races !

Very nice MD,

Will those markings change much as they mature, or are they full grown now?

These are over 5" now but looking at them they still have some growing to do, as to their markings I think they will change slightly but how much I don't know :?
