Desjardini Vs Veliferum

[reefinginBD]

I always just kept the desjardini, much more attractive fish to me. Agree that they can be aggressive. Mine would even go after my arm. Not a fish I’d recommend to all but the large tank owners. Even a 225 is too small for a fish that can easily get to 12”.

I have a 150 and most desjardini that come here are about 2-3 inches in size, max 4 so I can I not keep one until it gets about 7-8 inches and then swap it out with another smaller desjardini? How long will it take for it to grow that big?

About 3 years, if you feed him well

Oh wow that’s a really long time! Then I won’t need to worry about changing him out for a long time!

What do you think this guy is? Small only near 3 inches. I bought him as a Desjardini but now I am not so sure.

My previous Desjardini. The more I look at it, the more I think my current one is possibly a hybrid.

That's interesting... I don't know enough to tell, but if I were to guess- looks like the same fish to me, maybe in a different mood..(?)

I’ve had both. Djardini is a bully. Currently have him in a 180. Had a indo type in a 120 much nicer. Do you like spots? To me that’s the only difference

 

[sc50964]

Tail color, body line pattern, body line color, dots, fin color & pattern are all the possible differences.

Very good possibility. Which one is this fish? a hybrid?
