Its got to be a Dario, i wonder if the fish in the pic is typical ? the wierd markings are on both sides , most odd ! how could you create such an oddly marked fish , perhaps cloning ?

Could selective breeding have something to do with it?

Hi Daspricey, not sure ? in wild imports of Dario there are usually a few oddly marked ones i.e. some with more yellow than the norm, some with strange bands odd shapes etc, would it be possible to line breed them in such uniformity ? i had a chat with Mickthefish and he was under the impression that this was single specimen ?

I thought that first but there is a "sold out" sign under it which is why i though they wouldn't sell just one and they would have more in or something?

The fish in the pic are certainly the same fish.

ps, any one up to emailing the site (Top right) who can speak that language? :mrgreen:
