( Apologies for the triple post ^^; )

Hey Kurosaki, any chance you can show me a picture of these A. Hopolgenys, plus a common name is you can. I fail at the Latin names, and when I google it I get White Seam and Snowflake BN's :P
Also, I've posted the recent photo's above, here's a few from the ID from when we ID'd them:

Small Spotted Ones (Well, I dunno which is which, but they look exactly the same, save for a few bristle diffrences)





Large Spotted One:




The game continues! xD

High Spreebok, A.Hoplogenys is the common name (real name), I've also had Mark the owner of Aggies try to tell me that the pepps
we get in OZ are Hoplogenys--"wrong".
This is what I was getting at with recent pix:
Large spotted fellow.

First of the 2 fish that were assesed as A.Hoplogenys

Now this is the closest pic I can find of the Rio Ucacyali /O-spot we get in OZ

Note the lack of bold white spots and the spots leaning towards an orange colour.
I can definately see a difference between Hoplogeys and Rio Ucayali-- what do you think Spreebok

Oh yeah another thing -- that slate cave setup is it siliconed together? if it's not then I'd get on to that ,
if those slate pieces come crashing down, ooohhh I'd hate to imagine the outcome.

Cave is indeed siliconed, spent a whole evening turning the air blue when it kept falling over during curing lol!

Oh, I can deffo see the difference now! Even my eldest one (over a year old, about 7cm) still has very bright and defined spots. Plus the general shape is wrong as well, mine have more common BN shaped bodies and heads!
Is there any chance you can point to me an accurate refrence page for A.Hoplogenys, just so I can visually confirm with myself?

We'll try this link thingo again

Aaah! So we're going back to L059 again? I can see the resemblence, I guess we'll just have to wait for these guys to grow up before we can get a clearer picture! Cheers for your help Kurosaki!

L059 is Hoplogenys
