I present my Stiphodon

Post by Ghio » Mon Feb 09, 2015 1:43 pm

Hello!
I bought some time ago these beautiful Stiphodon for my Aquarium.
They are beautiful and you see them swim show in my Aquarium.
I have a doubt about the exact species they belong to (the retailer didn't know).To me they seem Styphodon atropurpureus.
What do you think?
PS: Sorry for my english...

Nice fish! I almost bought a similar specimen yesterday, but I couldn't talk my son into it (technically it would be "his" fish, but he wanted a Black Moor :roll: ).

This should be in the freshwater forum, not a loach, :)
Doesn't look like atropupureus to me but pics can be deceiving. More pics!
