Update: After about 2 days they started getting along more or less fine. The big guy will occasionally charge the little guy just to show who's boss, I guess, but there's no contact. The little guy is eating like a pig now and a lot bolder.

That's the good news. The bad news .... I'm pretty sure he's another virgatus not a doliatus. Argh! What is with this whole "no doliatus's in Canada since at least August 2006" thing??? Bummer ... I guess I will keep hoping for one someday.

Awe! You need a side by side shot so everyone can see the huge size difference between the two!

From my ID books... looks like it may have a small chance at being a doliatus. It's hard to say by that picture, can you see any 'dots'? or are they all lines? (markings)

I don't really see any dots... But my other guy, who's definitely a virgatus, started off with lines like that too. I was sort of expecting the lines to be more prominent on a doliatus. But I guess at 1.5" long this guy has a ways to go before growing up so in time it could become more obvious what he/she really is.

I did try a few pictures with the two together in the shot, but alas, they didn't turn out. I'll try again...

Cruising through older posts, came across this from Albert's tank:


Sigh.... I dunno, looking at the two pictures side by side, the faint blue lines that I see in mine, don't seem to match up to those on Albert's friend's fish. I'd be pleasantly surprised to find out I'm wrong and this is a doliatus after all, but ... at this point I think I'd be surprised. I don't know how many virgatus's I've seen in the last 18 months and not a single doliatus. What's up with that anyhow?

other thread Tony.
