Hi fellow hobbyists,
 
 
Happy New Year 2014!!!
 
 
My first post here...
 
 
Bagged this interesting fellow from Y618 (LFS in Singapore)...
 
 
Was listed as golden mahseer/kelah but this particular specimen caught my eye as it has shiny specks on most of its fins (save the dorsal)...
(observed the fish for a good amount of time to ensure it's not spot disease etc)
 
 
Please view at the below timings for the relatively-clearer frames:

Just wanted to share and hopefully gain more insight from more experienced keepers on its ID and as to whether such shiny specks will last till adulthood...
(To concerned viewers: greedy fellow had a heavy meal and thus mouth is gulping lots temporarily)
 
 
Also, would appreciate any ID on the slimmer of the medium-sized ones as it was simply listed as "wang bu liao / wu wang wo" from C328 (LFS in Singapore)... (it's the one that is most colorless/slivery)
 
 
The biggest and the next-biggest were listed as common/mixed kelah from Y618 (LFS in Singapore)... (most likely green or humpback)
 
 
Thanks for watching!
