Got a hybrid for free...

He has just one eye and the wanted to dump it...so i took him home. Freaky looking Synos dont seem to be topsellers...:)

The later 2 pics are lighter than in real life cauz the fish wouldnt have been visible otherwise. Quite a change in two days...
It is a hybrid isnt it? (no head bump, no white barbels, no bent dorsal) he has coppery eyes but almost all my real Synos have them...
cheers

But it has black edges to the caudal fin. Yes, it's a hybrid.
