[mwm]

Beautiful...errmm lol...well very cool to say the least! Awesome dude ive seen some of these in LFS around me. Brackish right?

 

[Paul_MTS]

cheers!

yep he's a true brackish dude, although if he is the G. Peruanus he can live quite happily in either.

by the way do these picture look dark or light to you?

the top of them to me looks dark but on my camera there perfect. Oh and feel free to adjust then repost to what looks better to you....??

 

[KageBunshin]

Dang what do you feed him?!?! Prisoners??

all joking aside hes one beautiful (and scary lookin) fish!!

Im pretty sure that is Gobioides peruanus, the vertical bars are not pronounced enough to be Gobioides broussonettii.

 

[Paul_MTS]

thats wot i was thinking after looking closer at the baensch picture also the book indicates a lightly coloured head where as mine is just pure black.

seeing as the minions has peruanus from seapets before i think it is more likely to be one.

on the first ID pics the flash made the side bars show about alot and made him look light making the apperance that he was a broussonettii which is what you thought first time round.
