Hi peeps,

Was wondering if anyone has any ideas what these little fellas are.

Lightly spotted, with eye band, banded tail, some specimens have dorsal blotch and the blotch is partly marked on the body as well. Some of them are without the dorsal blotch.

Would appreciate some pointers!

Cheers!

with and without dorsal blotch

the two fellas in front. hehehe ... not the big fella at the back

They look quite small which will make a big difference when trying to identifying because the colour pattern has not fully developed.

What size are they.

these fellas are really kinda small ... probably over an inch or somewhere there? their bodies are whitish based if it's any help

THanks in advance!

At that size they could be one of about 30 species, lets have another look at them when they are 2"

Thanks,

well, let's see how fast they grow then!

I don't suppose they could be kanei or something like that could they?

Cheers

They could be C. kanei but even C. metae look like that when they are small.
