    Hi guys,

    Got this picture from Biotope Aquarium during the recent Dwarf Cichlid gathering.



    Any idea what it might be?

    Cheers,

    welcome to AQ! do you have a special interest in tetras and characins?

    I'm the new guy in AQ. Nice to see you.
    I'm not only interested in Tetras but also Loricariidae and Corydoras. ^_^

    Hi KobeFish!

    Welcome to Aquatic Quotient!!

    Do share your interests with us! I like loricariidae and corydoras too!!! And tetras of course. But compared to the other fishes, there isn't too much information about characins, except for the larger ones.

    Cheers,

    don't think so Eric, Hasemania nana are fairly common here, and they usually do not have an adipose fin.

    here are all the pics i took today of this buggers..3 of them in total.. see the difference in colouration?? its not the light angle..








    Sorry for some of the glass marks.. it wasn't that clean.. my bad..
    i was happy that the scales didnt reflect too much... i was afraid of that since tetras seems to do that all the time..
    Ideas anyone?

    at this size, looks good enough. the whole point about documentation is to capture reality. after we get some useable ones, then we shoot for the really good looking ones (full extended fins, super sharp scales, etc etc). but RAW definitely.

    Wonder if PSCS2 can open G6 RAW anot.
