Britzkii vs. Multiradiatus
I bought as Britzkii but my own research tells me Multiradaitus. However there is a britzkii being sold on aquabid right now that looks just like mine... Of course it too could be misidentified.
Can anyone tell me definitively what I have?

Looks like B. multiradiatus to me.
Snout is not correct for B. britzkii and too many dorsal fin rays to be B. splendens.

That's what I thought. I've been searching for Britzkii for over 10 years and was so clouded by my excitement when I saw these that I forgot the distinguishing features and trusted the salesman. Not that the Multiradiatus is not a great find in itself but..... the search continues.

Also I thought the britzkii was the larger growing brochis? I see here that is not the case.
Perhaps the britzkii grows taller?

Re: Britzkii vs. Multiradiatus
Years ago I had britskii and they were taller, especially from the dorsal fin back to the caudal peduncle
Ask not...
