maybe the pix software is acting up; I see 2 fishes but no heads.....
as far as I can see without the head; this is the brichardi x decorus or brichardi x ornatipinnis hybrid.
a nice looking fish, but unfortunately the replacement for the real thing in most of the LFS, because they're a fraction of the price, but they're sold as the real stuff with the price tag of the original species
in short: rip-off scenario's by LFS and wholesale alike.

A hybrid that is becoming increasingly available - this is the one being passed off as ornatipinnis & is being called zebra syno or some variation of this

This is some problem with ImageShack. I stopped using it because of this.sidguppy wrote:maybe the pix software is acting up; I see 2 fishes but no heads.....

sorry about the pictures. i was hoping this would be a true ornatipinnis. the head pattern is very similar and the stripes on the tail is the same as well.

by the way, try cliccking on quote then click expand on the topic index. you can view the fish better there. you can see the head.
