t1, when I bought this one I thought it's a thunder, now I'm not so sure. This picture was taken at 7th, June, this one is not very good at compete for food, so it still stay in quarantine tank.


t2, I really like this one, not shy at all, it devote itself into eating, eat almost everything, chase away bigger fish, picture taken at 10th july.

same fish at 3rd June

t3, fish on the left, t2 on right for comparison. I'm not sure what this is, I thought it's a thunder, but again after keeping them for a while, I noticed they're a bit different, maybe not that obvious on photo.


t4, this one is very beautiful I think, it should be quite positive a thunder, but panapue can grow into quite different appearance, so I won't be totally surprise if it's not.





thanks for watching, comments are welcome :)

Lovely little Panaque :D I can't say that I see much difference in them, other than line variation. The last one is very nice with such fine lines.

Yes, it's hard to spot the differences in picture. Besides pattern, the color and contrast is in each fish's own style, also much easy notice in real life is the head shape, but they are constantly changing for this size of fish anyway. Oh boy I wish them grow faster.:whistle:

Thanks for sharing the updates, what size are they now? They seem to be maintaining their fine lines nicely, my fella's lines got thicker.

I think they are 9~11 cm now, I only measure them when they are sucking on the side glass. So it's not very accurate. I wonder how long will take to hit their growth bottleneck.
