a final ID

[Ron Popeil]

i think ive posted this fish to get identified before, but i just want one more final ID before i figure out what to do with her.

this fish was purchased almost two years ago as a pair of chrysopterus. the male didnt make it.

the longer i have this fish, the more i question its ID. although i may have never seen an a. akindynos is real life, i occasionally find myself wondering if that is what this fish is.

so, once and for all, would you say chrysopterus or otherwise?

when originally purchased:

and with male

Chrysopterus

yeah, i guess youre right. i look at the pictures and im inclined to think so...but in person....i guess it just strikes me as different.

thanks for the help.

Female from Guam. No akydinos in Guam.

The yellow fins pretty excludes akins... She is a chrys.

 

[Ron Popeil]

thanks guys.


if nothing else, this chrysopterus has held most of her color far better than any others ive had.

I put my vote in, too.

She is a Chrysopterus.

Best,
