I thought those two garras looked quite a bit alike. :wink:
The colors of last fish seem more in line with mine and janma's.

I forgot to mention a recent observation, in the yellow body zones (wide stripes) I notized some orange pigments on single scales, only some have develolped those. Until then the yellow was pure yellow, that was a change.

Pictures with and w/out flash don't show it, need to try with various camera settings.

Interesting. I'll have to check mine for the orange on the scales.

I will try and get some pics uptodate of my panda's, I have several in my 250 gallon tank and there is quite a bit of difference between them in finnage colouration.

I also got the aquarium-glaser newsletter this weekend, very good news that there are captive bred G. flavatras out there (and in Europe :)).

I don't know if anyone have asked this, but do they mix well with loaches?
