Big Syncrossus hymenophysa

Post by Martin Thoene » Sun Mar 04, 2007 2:15 pm

Spotted these two today at my local Big Als. I guess someone brought them in. I didn't use flash, so the pictures aren't the greatest. Got some reflection from the opposite bank of tanks and the color's somewhat off.

If they come up about 5.5 inches nose to caudal base on your screen, that's about natural size.

Yes, I was kind of wishing I had somewhere to put them (which I don't) because they were in such nice condition.

They definitely are in nice condition. They have matured really well.
