Hi All !

This is my first post in the forum, ive been reading the forum for a while now and its been a great source of info for when i was setting up and buying fish for my tank, so thanks to you all !!!

Anyway here's what i ended up with ... the first one is a snakeskin of some description, as it has a higher number of stress bars than the others .... the two others where bought as both being the same strain, but seam to have very different markings, anyway any info would be great !

once again thanks to all ! :D

The 1st one looks like a ss with some red spotted green blood in it. The other 2 look like red turquoise. It is possible they came from the same spawn as ss parents always through a lot of variation in the progeny.

put it this way SLS is about 10times the quality of oafi. But oafi aint bad compared too the rest of melbourne.

Too tell you the truth OAFI fish arnt bad and would probably be the best in melbourne, but he asks alot (price wise). SLS fish just seem healthier. Dont know the must have better connections, just take it from someone who has tried both and has no connection with either. SLS is cheaper for a better quality fish.
