M3gal0don_M4n Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 I found this in a shop. Is it a Diplomystus or Knightia? If you can respond quickly that’d be great, as I am currently in the shop. “Deep words go here”- Me, 3/9/24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randyw Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 (edited) Notice how far up the side the side fin is and the long anal fin? And the humped back and heavy gill plates? The tail should also be deeply forked. This example of mine is unfortunatly missing the tail Edited June 25 by Randyw 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M3gal0don_M4n Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 Thanks for the information and quick response! I had figured it didn’t seem quite right, despite the ship keeper claiming it was. “Deep words go here”- Me, 3/9/24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
