unknown fish

[whoarreyou]

hi, i recently went to my LFS and saw a quite amazing fish there. they swam around together in a big ball. I can't remember the name of the fish and i would really like to know what it is. I think that it said network something but i havnt been able to find it. I did get a poor quality picture on my phone at the time but wasnt sensible enough to get the name. any help would be much appreciated. thanks

Its a species of headstander i think. i can't remeber the exact species tho - sorry.

EDIT: Actually i think i can - they look like marbled headstanders.

However, I could be completely wrong now I take another look - they seem brighter and arn't swimming in the same way as theones I've seen.

looks like a bunch of corys shoaling. could be network corys.

Definatly a headstander. Most grow to 6-8".

For the exact species, your better off in the "characin and cyprinid" section.

whoarreyou was talking about the brown mass in the middle of the pic, not the other fish on the left and right

Look closer and you can make out the tails and other fins
