Sturisomatichthys sp. `COLOMBIA` or not?

Post by Mountain »

Hi,
years ago I bought some Sturisoma sp. sold as S. aureum, but they stayed very much smaller than S. aureum. I've had lots of breeds (?) with them and care about the F2 nowadays, but I never really knew, what kind of they are.
What do you think (I've read, that there are some Sturisomatichthys-Keepers here).

Hi!

If I remember my "sp Colombia" I had in the past, I think they had a patternless belly

I think would fit more your fish.
