it has been a long time since I saw some solid big ones around

Kind of seasonal for the long fins. Albinos are more readily available from time to time. I have never see any big big ones before though.

Oh Lord, sorry to hear that. Long fin albino is a nice fish to keep, especially when it swims.

Latest recruit.

PBB bro. The latest faranah lap shipment was too small. This guy should be around 19".

The center pc is a faranah lap. My two are doing well. Both around 18"-19"

Nice! Btw, the faranah laps are so different from the regular laps. Their base colour and bars are very close to those dabola..interesting variant.

Thks bro. I feel they are different from each other. The 1st pic and 2nd pic are two different faranah laps. Base on the recent batch and the last batch, i think the one in the 1st pc is a better example of a standard faranah. Darker colours and more faded markings. The one in the 2nd pic was the only one of my batch to look like that. The latest batch had one pc similar but i suspect that might be a dabola instead.

I won't 100% say that my second pc is not a dabola, but the markings are closer to a tikinsso lap then a Dabola to me. For this reason, I will still classify it as a faranah lap imo.

Nonetheless, they are still very nice looking laps! Wow, 18-19" now, that's really fast growth! Good job bro
