* Faranah for me. A distinct feature is a much flatter head.
* Dabola 'Tikinsso River' distinct feature is a heavier set skull. Thick and mean looking
Patterns and color tones can be similar for both.
I have a great idea as a new tank warming gift you buy me 3 or 4 of each.
Yeah i though the faranah had a flatter head too but all im saying i cant say all faranah have flatter heads based off my two fish. I never said that their are no differences i just think they are too minute to say x will always have x
I can pick the fish up at BWI btw
Yes they are. Many hobbyist like to know where these Zonatus are caught. I would. It's what makes it fun. It's same specie, yes. Example : 'Rio xaya' Zonatus, 'Rio baafetsfg' Zonatus
They can look slightly different or the same. Its an important element to know where a fish is caught.
Tbh i would agree with you more about head shapes vs banding. Banding unless bv is pointless
We both agree base pattern is meaningless
But it doesnt mean all zonatus caught from rio kissmybutayo are going to look the same. Yes fun to know where they are caught but you cannot say a zonatus with less blue is from here and a zonatus with more blue is from there....just doesnt work that way.
Some species do have these defining traits like la cieba but this is more than just banding
It's a shame that ornates, weeksii, congicus (not amymore), and many other wild caughts don't have a known catch locale. That would make it fun. It doesn't mean that it will look any different. Just as how we do it for cichlids and plecos.
Im not saying its the same fish, what im saying is maybe the fish that we get are getting mislabel somewhere, cause some have the same characteristics but different catch location.You know this statememt supports whatHao and i are saying right ?
