Guess I'll start it :D

Schmike:i believe the picture you reference is from d's room , which they do not have palmas palmas in their list, they simply just lump them together,the other websites posting brown buetties were in year 2008, when palmas palmas were elusive to japs and i believe it poses a difficulty as for knowing them enough and to id them as palmas palmas , and if i nv remember wrongly palmas palmas was named new speciea third prize in 09 aquarama...i maybe wrong too;):)

A pic to share in my quarantine tank. 12 inch VS 9 inch Endy.
Sorry for the bad quality, taken from iphone.

bro, nice endy u hve, why need to quarantine? :rolleyes:

What happened to your PBB bro? What medication is that? Sorry I can't read :o

New purchase.
I have the habit to quarantine new fishes first, I fear that they may spread unwanted disease to my existing stock.

Palmas Palmas elusive to "Japs" in 2008? You sure about that?
And I don't mean to be an arse, but can we lose the "Japs", it is a derogatory term remember!

My apologise bro for the bad term .... Maybe you would like to tell us more about it because we are clueless about it and maybe knowledge is not there yet , what i quoted was basically my assumption and like i say its not hundred percent right , would like to hear more from you....Why they are called brown buettis?

PBB got infection at lower jaw, suspect bitten by ornate, some say migth be internal infection.
