He looks like a red tail to me. Add that to the fact fact that's it's not in the best condition and no doubt stressed time will tell. Good luck on the treatment hope it all goes well, that split dorsal looks pretty bad but these are hardy beasts. Who knows it maybe a exodon or redtail or maybe something else, let him settle in a bit then break out your dslr in a few days
Yeah neil says the bloke who got these in the wild was the first catcher and exporter of microrasbora galaxy he knows his fish and i believe that this is a EEGG.Yanbbrox;2589034; said:He looks like a red tail to me.

Ive grown and kept a few RTGG from 1.5" and they look completly different.

They sure look like Redtails GG too me but what do I know, I only have 4. Dude it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong, but most Aquarium people (yes I know you work in one too) go by what the invoice says. Which can be something totally different than whats in the bag/tank!
FYI: More than likely there all beat up from fighting with each other, not from being shipped.
I couldn't agree more, If I could get a job IDing fish wrong then I'll be a rich man by now, they do look more red tail than anything else, like Bruce said he's had some before (3 I think) and he doesn't think that they are?Tequila;2589064; said:They sure look like Redtails GG too me but what do I know, I only have 4.

Septemfasciatus perhaps?

As I said I could be wrong but only time will tell for sure. Good Luck with them. Just try to keep apart as long as possible because when there not eating there fighting with each other, it's in there nature for survival.
No just those. Im gonna just give it time.Yanbbrox;2589184; said:
If it is a RTGG. Ill be pleased. It can replace the one that died.
