IDENTIFICATION REQUIRED

fishman 1 · Feb 10, 2005

Hello all,

I had hoped to put the picture on the characin forum.

Does anyone know what the scientific name for this fish is? I can only presume it is a type of Paradon.

If you have seen them or have any reference on them please can I have the name of the book you have seen it in or web site you have seen it in to assist me with its identification.

Thanks

Has anyone seen any of these fish?

Does anyone out there know the scientific name?

Please HELP! :lol:

is it a bottom feeder? because it looks like some sort of Loach. The closest thing i could find was Botia Angelicus.

it's no loach that I've seen. the shape reminds me of a gudgeon. :dunno:

What did they have it listed as?

It is a type of paradon or possibly a type of characidium.

I can only assume it is a paradon, but which one is the question?

It does hang about around the bottom although it is very active and does swim mid-water and around the top.

It is definately not any type of botia.

I bought it as a polka dotted characidium or something like that.

Was hoping someone might have a picture reference.

I am getting a little disheartened as no one seems to be able to help with this ID. :-(

I thought someone might of been able to help.
