What kind of Sturisoma?

[Erik82]

I bought myself 5 Sturisoma's. The were named Sturisoma Panamense. But its an other Sturisoma. I think its the Sturisoma sp. aff. festivum. Can someone confirm this, or is it maby the Sturisoma festivum itself? Is this a common species or rare? It's also has long flowing extensions on the caudal fin.



Thanks!

Kind regards,
Erik

Here is a previous thread about tank raised S. panamense in the Netherlands.

Thanks for your replay Dave. In the topic you named, de Sturisoma would probably an Aureum. But... the Aureum doesn't have flowing extensions at the caudal fin. Also the pectoral fins are "longer" (don't know the correct word of it) then the Aureum should have..

I think its the Sturisoma sp aff festivum

I would agree with you on this.
