Thank you, Helene, for posting your photos – and thanks to Bartian and Peter Finke for giving their expertise.

Now let’s see what Michael brings – maybe we get some more photos. I have no expert’s eye for paros but I must confess I had my doubts about Helene’s fish being gunawani. For me they are too long and slender (while gunawani seems shorter in proportion and stout) – but I was not sure whether this might be due to their youth. There is one fish on Helene’s first photos – still in the tank of the fish store I think – which proportions imho seem to fit better to being gunawani. But I think this one’s not among the fish Helene bought.

Gunawani or not – as I have not one of the bintan-forms yet I will keep my promise and take a pair or two of the fish Michael gets. If he gets enough to share ….

(Peter – here in Bonn and surroundings the crane’s northward migration could be observed nearly every day of this week, too. Always makes my heart ache with joy to watch them…………….)
