Hybrid?

This one's a bit tricky.
The eyes are a bit coppery, so I think it is.

Doesn't look like S. multipunctatus to me.

@dinyar I know its hard but take me serious please.

Yes, I would guess it IS a hybrid. Has some multipunctatus features but it's almost certainly NOT a multipunctatus. S. ocellifer x S. multipunctatus?

look at those fins!

not a smudge of black, nor white...just spots

$#%#@$^%@$^!#$^hybrids

however, they look kida "original" though (maybe it's the evil beauty of the hybrid

), sure it's not some unknown riverine species?
that long snout and the shape of the mouth remind me of pleurops or acanthomias....

I really have no clue as to what they are, but what ever they are they sure are cute!

Really a great looking syno in my eyes.
