go for the small congi with deep stripes.. no thick bar but contrast is good

im not sure if this was the endi you were looking for.. the ones left had similar flat and compact head, so in the end i went ahead to get the one with the biggest mass. barring was, i'd say average.. but gotta see how the color shows in my red quartz then can judge the barring

Oh, different one then, the big mass one had more froggy eyes then the one I was talking abt, hmmmm the one I was looking at had a squarer head, the type I like lol. yah, the congi with the deep stripes looks quite nice Thought abt it but yah, a bit small. Might get eaten by my other congi so I decided to look at the endis lol. Tempted by the ansorgii also, nice size for me, not too big not too small.

Guinea would mean it comes from the country Guinea, not too sure of it's specific river as Guinea has 3 rivers passing through her, namely, Gambia, Geba & Saint Paul River (according to wiki). For Volta,


So I guess the locality, though even, is still rather vague about the source of the fish. Different river might give you different characteristics for a same species.

Saw that one, Daniel pointed it out to me the moment I shifted to that tank. Very tempting poison all a ard, but I think I will be waiting for the next shipment, very keen to add a guinea lap to my bunch, or maybe even a pbb if I got the $$$ then.
