I'm curious what those were too. Their mouth shape and body look exactly like the one i bought from Seaview. From my knowledge, i dont think they are Green Kelah as their shine and mouth position (upper-lip) is totally different.

Seeing that there are so many Kelah experts here.
I got a question open for comments. I have both Tenga and Green Kelah, many peers here says they are both the same but i beg to differ.

Here is why, based on my understanding so far (refer to pics below);
left picture - tenga (or is it red kelah like what the seller tells me?)
right picture - green kelah (or is it something else)

Anybody can explain why these two names are referring to the same species when they are obviously different fishes?

I thought they are much nicer than any Kelah I have seen so far. Would have bagged a few if they weren't so ex. I wanted to find out more about them before I take a plunge. If they could remain so bright scaled in an indoor tank, it shows the genes are very good!

Cant wait to have you onboard!
I scopped up my blue the other day to do minor surgey but forgot to take a close pic. I must tell you it looks like a gold bar holding it! You sure no blue for you? Maybe a few of each kind would be great idea too

Thanks for the contribution.
There's already quite a few such breeders i've read about few years ago.
Maybe some of their offspring are already in our tanks!
