    mmm… I think it is a juvenile rhomboocellatus. juvenile johorensis have 6 thin bars like hexazona, then when they grow up to 3-4cm these bars breakup and morph into stripes.
    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.

    Choy has spoken on the ID. If he says it's a juvenile rhomboocellatus, chances are that it is.

    Er... next time, choose a better fish. This one is emanciated already. Probably not healthy. Fins are torn too.

    You may need to check your lighting set up. Seems to be too far back.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    I got him confused with Nick Chong. They both contributed pix. I only can remember fish, cannot remember people

    well you know we don't give labels to a specific specimen, only to a population, unless of course the said specimen "Edwin" has been preserved and deposited with a institutional collection.


    btw, head over to killies.com they are having a discussion on close-up photography

    underline only if you are using typewritter and does not have italic fonts.

    Let me double confirm, yes that's a juvenile and VERY skinny Puntius rhomboocellatus.

    Choy, is this bugger under Systomus now?
    Fish.. Simply Irresistable
