Snapped this guy as well today. Not easy to catch these fish with fins spread, especially on the move.

Nice pic! I've always thought that fish was very attractive.

Martin, you are always one of the reasons i enjoy my random passes through the site.

Nice photo. Great fish.

Yes, Helen. You know you will be assimilated soon!

Think you'd better get Tom to start building you another cabinet!

you are wicked wicked people

i am working on it! our new sitting room is maybe 10-12 foot long (it has a sort of sqaure bit that looks like it should be a cupboard where our chimney and next doors' chimney isnt). i can have a 6 foot tank with a 2 foot tank underneath. if he changes his mind on that one he may well get stabbed. but he hasnt got time to start building the mammoth stand for that till the new year. so then what do we put in the funny square bit that should be a cupboard. it would great with a hillstream tank. its 3 foot wide, and not much use for furniture. i cant think of any other use for it. im just not sure how tall the 6 foot tank will end up being yet. i may have to get a longer ladder.

LOL needs to to get shares in kleenex. delicate handbag size packs (for fish touring), man size boxes for the porn you dare to look at at work, and extra absorbent fish porn packs, for the stuff you should only really look at at home, when no-one else will catch you. and shares in waterproof keyboard covers too.

I just found three of these the other day. Tiny chaps, but very active.

Martin, would these be tha same?

Martin Thoene · Post by **Martin Thoene** » Wed Sep 20, 2006 7:08 pm

Tail is identical. Seems to have slightly more conyinuous stripes, but almost certainly the same species.

Not that I mind finding only ctenocephalus, ocellatus and stellatus in the few gastro shipments I see.
But it would be nice to find one of this species (zebrinus?)

Jim, I wasn't going to mention that name.
