Hello, I just purchased a tank and this guy came with it. I really like him and wondered what he is. Does anyone know? He's about 7".

Looks more like the "ornatipinnis" hybrid to me: .

Beautiful hybrid - I'm always wary just because I have no idea how large any given hybrid might grow, keep us updated as he grows!

I have two of these guys, they're about 2 years old and have grown to ~7" SL They have a great personality and get along very well with even small cories and loaches. They haven't had any interest in shrimp or snails. They are quite shy though and appreciate a cave or two.
