    I certainly didn't know and I was thinking it was anything except a fish with such nice markings!!!

    Cheers,

    p.s. The green tinge is rather strong. Might need to pull it back a little bit.
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    looks huge man! nice spots, must be juvenile markings?
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    Yup, a bit greenish. Couldn't use my macro lens also...........

    should reach 60 cm, and this fish is about 35 cm now. The fins should turn red...

    I thought it was a lot smaller! No reference to give it a sense of scale. Nevertheless, impressive fish!

    that's why always good to have some gravel.

    I'd imagine local LFSs would start calling it the "leopard sucker" if it ever went on retail... Where's he/she from? Some mountainous region of China i assume...

    Slightly useless point but you could estimate the size by the silicone...

    First time that I've seen one of those and it looks quite impressive. I take it it's called naked due to the lack of scales, or something along that line?
