Aphyosemion elberti?

 

[Inka4040]

Aphy bulanum is no longer valid, it's elberti now, but yeah... That's the fish.

Since Bum got the current use name, it goes to him.

Weird... AKA.org lists elberti as the accepted name. A search for a. elberti also returns immensely more links than one for bualanum.




Just checked fishbase... Both names are listed as valid.

Found the pic under the name elberti though... N'tui to be exact. Here's the original link. Top right corner.

its because there are two similar species A. bualanum and A. elberti. they are often confused bum can have it but i just wanted to clear that up.

 

[reefbumgm333]

It's not a big deal to me, I just like the adventure. I will throw out an easy one for you guys.

Malapterurus microstoma?

 

[reefbumgm333]

Close, but not the right one.

 

[biggdadyapisto]

Malapterurus electricus?

 

[reefbumgm333]
