I can't think of any species with this colouration that also has the dark pectoral and caudal areas. Of course I don't know all species, but I'm afraid this is man-made....again.

I'm getting some sort of hack-admin error page when I click the link for the picture......

it says that I try to get access with a blocked IP adress and a proxy, wich is bull ofcourse.

but then it gets downright creepy, cause it automatically redirects me to the homepage of my very own router, showing all the stats!
:shock:

wich makes me wish I HAD use a proxy, blocked IP adress etc etc

The picture was posted on my website. I know no details, but i´ll ask him.
that also has the dark pectoral and caudal areas.
S. filamentosus have these colouration in the fins and looks a little, little bit similary.
But the crucial detail is missing - the filament. :lol:

Hi there

It doesn't really look like any of the filamentosus i've encountered.

With the dark-ish patches in the dorsal & pectorals adjacent to the body & the dark bars in the lobes of the tail it hints at a hybrid (but not one i've come across). That said there are must be too many variants to count by now!
