the markings on the dorsal ridge are kinda joint over the ridge. I understand that for evelynae that's usually not the case? is that why a C90 is a closer match? now I'm really curious!? :p


ok .... more pics ... but not half as decent ...

What size is the fish, it looks like a juvenile, which as it developes could prove to be another species, but at this time I still think it is C90. C. evelynae is a stockier deeper bodied fish.

thanks Coryman

nahhh ... I have no idea what they are ... getting really curious. Had them for about 9 mths or so I suppose. the middle two pics shows the larger specimen of the trio. probably 50mm or so? Like I said no idea what they are, been wondering what they were. C90 is interesting! any ideas would be really enlightening!

Cheers
