Helequin Rosbora

[SchottayB]

I brought 2 of these about a month ago, they we're adult size.

I wen't and brought another 3 to get the number up to 5, but they we're alot smaller in size (not adult)

I wen't back to the store I brought them from today, and I noticed they had Helequin Rosbora in a tank that are adult size the same as mine. But the 3 I brought last week that are smaller in size, have the same colour and pattern but with a differnt name.

Both are Helequin but one is under Helequin Rosbora and the smaller ones are under Helequin Sumthing (forgot the name lol)

But they both look identical, just differnt in size. Maybe the orange is abit stronger on the younger ones, thats all?


Got me confused

Yeah theres actually a few commonly traded fish that look like harliquins but are close relatives I believe somewhere there is an ID guide to the three of them, and I would place money on it that a certain member will be along in an hour or so to explain the difference

I'll be taking them back and replacing them with Helequin Rosbora then lol.

These we're £2 each aswell, and the Helequin Rosbora are £1.65 each
