| I found a tank with this label in my LFS today. I can't find anything like it from Google or any pictures.
The fish were a sort of mid brown (clay colour). All over they have fine black lines all squigly and joined up as in a piece of network. There were about 6, males and females.
I really liked them but thought I'd find out about them before buying as I've never seen them before.
Is anyone able to put a name to them please? |

| Actually it was quite like the paler one in RH picture but more clay coloured. The black markings were very well defined like you could draw on with a pen. Yes it could be that. I'll look into it further. The ones I saw were better marked then the picture. Thank you.  |

| Yes, Right hand.
I've got so many babies which escaped into my main tank I'm wondering if I dare add any more adults.
Do you like the L156? |

| Ah ha thanks Jim and LJ. I'll probably do my usual thing and dither around until they're gone. I would like them but am worried about overstocking. |
