I don't know if santarem's and doubt anybody can tell yet, as they are too young. They look nice and will probably grow to very attractive fish IMO.
All of those fish have very unusual bars, with incomplete bars, odd-number of bars, Y-shaped bars, and then the second picture, that guy with bars all connected.
I believe you recently showed pictures of two adults (parents of these??), and there was something about their bars as well. Tthey were 10-barred fishes, and there were some incomplete bars. They looked very nice as well. Some people find the odd bars objectionable, others don't. I think is a matter of preference, but would be nice to know where these fishes are coming from.
Are these juvies F1's, F2's 3,4 or what ? Are they hybrids, and if so what is the cross that has been made ?
Thanks for sharing, Francisco.
