A Similar Species

Look what I found while looking for breeding info on
Opistognathus rosenblatti (blue Spot Jawfish). A similar species that looks almost identical to the Rosenblatti.
The primary difference is the blue spots. On the Panamaensis the spots become lines toward the tail.

maybe I am behind and everyone already knows about this. I just think it is interesting.~Michael

Cool! I read about the Panamanian jawfish in Scott Michaels book, "Reef Fishes-Volumn 2...". You should post the imposter in the BSC thread.
