Id Please!!

Post by Westwood »

Hello all,

I have had these fish a while now, and i really would like to know a id for them.

This was when they were just introduced,they have darkened up a bit now.

Here is a video of the fish. I have no idea what they are doing:

Every now and again, they will go crazy swimming round in circles. they get a red spot, with a black line in front of it on there dorsal fin.

Thanks
Westwood :D

If the dark bars on the body are wider than the lighter interspaces it should be N. masyai, if thinner N. pallidus. Based on that photo N. masyai then?
