Re: [Killietalk] A. Bitaeniatum (Ijebu-Ode)

Ed size is probably the  least  thing I would look for to compare color 
finage (Ijebu-Ode) has long flowing fins & yes does reach 2". The ones you 
got from us is bred a great breeder with  many years under his belt Mark 
Hlavaty & i have no doubt this is (Ijebu-Ode) & a good example of the 
species knowing Mark
