Those are very distinct markings!
38 tanks, 2 ponds over 4000 liters of water to keep clean and fresh.

Happy fish keeping!

I'm looking at the pics, saying what numbers? what numbers is he talking about? Then they jumped out at me and slapped me in the face.

That’s really interesting! I’ve noticed similar markings on my fish too. It’s fascinating how different species can have unique patterns or numbers. I wonder if they have any significance or if it’s just a quirky trait. Have you seen any changes in their behavior related to those numbers? Cheers!
