My bad, I thought you meant the genus and species both started with M.  Instead of both the primary/alternate name for the genus starting with M.  I'll stop now as I have no idea.  Unrelated, cobalt blues look nice.  :)

Post by: Regalblue on March 15, 2013, 04:34:04 PM
Last hint - it's a classic Blue Barred species that used to be common about 15yrs or so ago. But now you only usually a species within the same genus that is lacking a visual distinguishable characteristic.

Duhh... you said barred so I was wrong as these red/blue estherae aren't barred.  Being older, I reserve the right to change my answer.  I now say these are the original BB Zebra.  If you don't agree, I challenge you to a duel of Geritol shots.

You could even start with it fitting in a 500 gallon.  Then continue from there on down.
