I have some nice pics to add to this thread along with some additional information, but life seems to get more and more hectic all the time. I will try when I get home to add some pics at least.

Just some pics I got from google.
Here are some big TSN

SOME RtC'S

Merodontotus Tigrinus

And some Juruense to clear up any confusion

Ok, that's all for now.

that first tsn has the craziest pattern, only crazier one I have seen was one with reverse coloration. I'll have to try and find that pic sometime.

Thank you Necro for all of the info you have provided to date.
It definately shows the amount of time you must have put into this thread.
I like the rest will be looking forward to your future additions.

Trust me soon I will have lots more time. Moving into my new house things get kinda hectic when you have lots more room for lots more fish. lol. I have tons more info for you guys, and I appologize for not updating this more often, but 3 moves in the last year have strain my capabilities on this site. Hopefully I can provide you guys with some new profiles really soon. Tnx to everyone who has posted other monter fish pictures. Again I try to put up pics and info on fish that average people might come across in their lfs, or when shopping online. There's lots of species that people want profiles for and I will eventually get to them, but I am prioritizing. Tnx everyone.
