not needed anymore...

bad news: this is a fake

this time they managed to get the fins properly, but the stubby body and the ocellated marks are all wrong
it's like a swimming head; the posterior end of the body is all scrunched up like a 'balloon fish' too

not a granulosa

The ocelated spots look like S. ocelifer. And certainly one parent is S. granulosa.

Oh that sucks

Especially if you paid a S. granulosa price for it.

I got 2 of them given to me, but only have one at the moment so going to wait and see if the other is the same.

I dont know what i would do if i paid a small fortune for it

if it's a free gift, well, at least you got a free catfish

and it sure looks healthy

all in all a good thing, because if someone started giving away genuine granulosa for free, I'd have to kill him on account of me feeling ripped of.
since I own 6 and over here they go for over 300€.....

that would have been well past 1800 euro's I could have kept in my wallet, since someone took it upon himself to devaluate the worth of granny's to absolute zero......

and since killing people is still frowned upon, i'd likely be in trouble, cops, judges, jails and whatnot; a whole bothersome affair

The only reason i got it was because of a family friend who didnt know what to do with it when he was selling his fish tank so i said i would take them, then i saw a picture the granulosa somewhere so i was thinking if mine is that one.

I wish it would be a legit one

Pretty fish even though it's not a pure granny. Definitely something crossed with a granny.
