lmoidin Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 hey guys,i purchased a few fish when St George Aquariums was having its closing down sale. i picked up a few fish for really cheap including purple spotted gudgeons and this little bad boy. but i cannot remember what kind of fish this is, they had just the one.i thought maybe a jack dempsey but this fish isn't really agressive at all like what the descriptions say about them.any ideas people? i want to buy more fish but need to know what this one is before i do so.http://i492.photobuc...0104_182730.jpghttp://i492.photobuc...0104_182621.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benno Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Juvinile synspilum is my guess, top quality little specimen too. Get very big very fast lol they can be pretty aggressive sometimes but have seen very peaceful larger ones too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I agree it is a juvenile Vieja synspilum. It will grow to 40cms so I hope you have a big tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmoidin Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Thank you so much for responding so quickly... i have a 90L 2ft tank but i am thinking of upgrading to a 3-4 ft tank in next month or so.... do you guys know what kind of fish get along alright with it? i had quite a few fish die last week (we were moving house and i think they went in to shock in the moving).... but i have a spotted silver dollar, purple spotted gudgeon paki loach, red tail shark and 2 zebra danios.
