    bit blurry and small, but judging by the general shape and markings it looks like a royal to me ... Ben's the expert though

    Were these purchased off Jeff (cichidkeeper)? If so, I believe they are S. aureum. I have a few pics of one a little larger 6-7cm.

    Not sure who they came from, my mate who owns the lfs said he had someone local breeding them. Will ask names today.

    From looking at catfish planet i have got it picked for S. Festivum, are these even in Aus?
