    got a batch of 6 fishes from TB Ben, 4 of the first kind, 2 of the second whose scoop-shaped head is quite distinct, also the tail does not have black fringes. all are mixed in the same tank at Ben's.

    then should not be a deformed specimen.
    this kind of fish can always find contaminant inside..

    great! so you agree too that it looks like a different fish huh? now we'd just have to find out which, but unfortunately info on Parachela is more difficult to come by than a good bowl of pigs trotters. [:0]

    chris, just edited my images for the unknown parachela, the image link has changed completely. so it appears that imagestation may amend the links from time to time, possibly due to storage maintenance. not a very good thing to have!
