critter_crazy Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Anyone know what this guy is? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =590872513 He's too big to be an upside down but doesn't look like a featherfin either. Awesome colour/pattern!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randomsam1001 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Not an upside down catfish..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kithrup Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I had one very similar to that a few years ago that was sold as a reticulated syno I think. Great looking fish, but they tend to be hybrids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Syno Euptera in an intermediate phase. They go through 3 colour morphs and the patterns change. They look like little cories when they are 1-2cm long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

critter_crazy Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Syno Euptera in an intermediate phase. They go through 3 colour morphs and the patterns change. They look like little cories when they are 1-2cm long. I know they do but the fish is 18cm.. way too big to be in it's juvie phase still which is the colours it's showing. After some research, I'm pretty sure its a vermiculated but just in an unusual colour pattern. I was gonna buy it if it wasn't sold... ohw ell:D Haha If it doesn't get on well with my other catfish you have first dibbs when you've got your tank up and running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

critter_crazy Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 i have one identical was sold as vermiculated 7 years old now and still the same Good to have a confirmation I have a baby vermiculated I bought a few weeks ago currently in a grow out tank which has more solid yellow/black patterns but looking online it's quick normal for each individual to really vary.
