ImageI got this from the local Petsmart

They had it in a tank with but I can't imagine that is correct. I tried to go through the CatElog but none of the popup pics look even close. This fish is a very young at only about 1.5 inches long. A couple more pics to help with ID. Ignore the shrimp in the last pic they are harmless.

Hey Joe, nice pics, especially for the in-store.

I'd agree with Richard. I never knew why I've been seeing two types of young, 1"-2", euptera - one spotty and the other stripey/network pattern. But I have seen quite a few of them labeled euptera and looking just like that pic 4 pointed out above.

But then, again, I am no syno expert. Let's wait for others. If someone thinks there is a small chance it could be a rare Syno, I'd grab him, if he was cheap.

The pic looks like from the Pet Supermarket, the analog of nation-wide Petco and Petsmart and Walmart pet dept. If yes, the euptera guess becomes more likely.
