      its true Mike. I bought these guys in hopes of adding them to my colony, but they came in and looked different then what I had. The dorsal has a hint of blue in it, and not near the yellow tint in the jaw area as the ones I already owned.

              Might get away with just keeping them in that tank.

              Ditter fish just helps a lot!

              Also, I don't know why these petros are getting the "sp. marco rainbow" label.

              As petro marcoganthus is already an official grouping. Also, it appears the sp. marco rainbow are closer related to the polyodon (which is also already an official grouping).

                              Thanks!

                              Of which fish are you referring too?

                              It has become a mix tank due to my impulse buys.
