My guy called and I was supposed to be picking up the Sewellia, but I got these guys instead...

I think I know what they are from the species index, but would like confirmation :)


Cheers,

Kevin

PS....I think I actually may have put my pic in right this time..well maybe not...sigh...I did exactly what Emma said, but it didn't work again...

Hi Kevin. Let's try that again.....

None of those tags under the picture at putfile will get the pic up here. To get the correct URL you have to right-click the picture and go to Properties. It's completely different to the 3 under the picture???

Anyhow, those are a Homaloptera species......possibly H. tweedei.

Martin.

Looks like tweediei to me to since the pec and pelvic fins don't overlap. But, most tweediei I have seen are more heavily marked. Nice find, regardless. They are very cool fish.
