Multiradiatus?

Post by unklebilly »

So I had 3 "britzkiis" That were positively identified as multiradiatus on here and I have now picked up two more from a different source labeled as "Britzkii". I am almost positive that these too are multiradiatus can anyone confirm this?

I will say that the second pair I purchased are much larger than the first three. They are at 4" from nose to the caudal peduncle.

Also I don't know if this question can be answered in this section but as you can see in the pic the dorsal fin is ragged. all specimens are exhibiting these ragged fins. I do not believe any other fish are picking on them in any way and am concerned that it may be some type of a disease. I'm pretty sure at least some of them came into my possession with fins intact and even then they have had about a month to regrow damaged fins and that has not happened. Any thoughts on the matter?

I will say these last two appear to have a shorter snout than the first three multiradiatus I picked up. However it seems a bit long for a britzkii and a bit short for a multiradiatus.
