Hi Yeo

Thanks for the info and your passion to aquarium hobby is

You are just great.

[hwchoy]

Huh? Wrong ID (again) eh?

ck

no no you could be right, just that I would need to print out the paper to verify it

[CK Yeo]

Need to print eh? I didn't read beyond the abstract. I based on the ang kong (figure 7) on page 431.

[hwchoy]

must read the discussion section also.

[Matt Ford]

I think you might be right CK although a close up of the dorsal fin would really help. Great pic as always.

[CK Yeo]

Here you go. Hopefully clear enough.

[Matt Ford]

I think you might be right CK. The only thing I can't spot is the dark markings on the branched dorsal rays although the paper does say these are "faint". Better wait for a more expert opinion than mine though!

[CK Yeo]

Oh. You were looking for spots. I should have posted the one with a lighter background. Anyway, there are no spots on the dorsal.
