Dream Bagrid
After an awesome weekend at Catcon, @Jools and I continued sorting through 65 pounds (!) of scientific descriptions sent to us by @Lee Finley (more on that later) Jools and I hit a couple of fish stores and I hit the jackpot. A pair of ! Even better, they had been housed together in a 30 gallon tank in the shop for 8 months and neither fish had so much as a scratch. The store had done the hard work of finding a compatible pair and conditioning them.
The male is the larger, more yellow, fish. Unsure if the coloration differences are independent or related to sex.

Re: Dream Bagrid
We hit some LFSs in the area (first time I've seen $25 for one black ruby barb!) but the best one, by far, was Londontowne Tropicals. This is who had the dream fish!

Re: Dream Bagrid
I would've thought your dream bagrid is . Posts on social media indicate that juveniles have been caught and exported.
