almorhae with the weirdest pattern i've ever seen.

Post by mickthefish » Thu Oct 30, 2008 8:41 am

i got this fish a while back, i picked this one because of that weird pattern all the others i got that day were more or less normal patterned.
this is a pic of the fish not long after i got it.

and this is a pic i took last night.
Image
it hasn't changed pattern much but it's grown to over 3 inches SL now.
i think it's a beaut, what do you lot think.?

Nah, he's ugly as sin Mick, I would reluctantly take him off your hands as a favour to go with mine but only as a favour... :wink:
Seriously he is beautiful... The original patterning is to my eye reminiscent of Y.sidthimunki or Y.nigrolineata but the matured pattern is much more reticulated.. Nice one.. You will have to come and photo my fish sometime..
So many species of fish yet so little time, space and money to keep them all...

Very beautiful. 8) Would you mind if I added a pic to the B. almorhae gallery, Mick?
