    @Jay,
    Looks like one to me.
    My lfs has some youngsters. I was very tempted, but went with some SA Uarus instead.

    Nice fish @Jay

    Can I please request that you provide us the link for where that pic came from. I see its obviously not your own pic... and it has a copyright on it... so it would only be fair to acknowledge the source.

    Thanks.

    @top dog,

    Sometimes too much choice is not a good thing!
    My tank is probably overstocked!
