Dicrossus ID

[Houndog]

I picked seven of these up a week ago, I am confident they are Dicrossus but I am unsure of what type. The ones pictured below are about 3.5 cm, the top one is one I bought and the bottom is one still at the LFS. Any idea what type they are?

Probably juvenile D. filamentosus. At least the flank patches correspond to those on this species.

Thanks Mike,

I will update as they mature.

Update: I have ten of these now, at least four are male.

Definately filamentosus, good call Mike

I am getting an RO/DI unit for my salt tank and might setup a 15g for breeding the Dicrossus, after a bunch of research

Keep us informed as to your progress with the R/O unit Jeff and the affect on the dicrossus breeding.
