The rear part of the body may be marked with faint transverse stripes. The fins are also gray-green, and the iris of the eye may be amber under favorable water conditions.
SIZE: To 12" (30 cm), although not usually more than 6" (15 cm) in captivity.
The body transversely connects to gold and black stripes, which red dots that extend from top to bottom roots of the fish's caudal fins. The colors extend leaving the fish lobes neutral.
The flanks are grayish yellow or gray-green; 11 or more dark transverse bars, which are positioned slightly obliquely, mark the flanks. These bars are separated by narrow pale areas, but they do not reach the belly.
pulchra; absence of caudal transverse bars (vs. presence in B. pugnax and B. pulchra; more anal rays than B. fusca (25-27, vs. 24-25); fewer lateral scales than B. schalleri (28-30, vs. 31); more predorsal scales than B.
The Clown Plecos of the genus Peckoltia have alternating transverse bands of darker and lighter brown, tan, or yellow and generally stay under 4" long.
Most ciliates reproduce by transverse binary fission dividing along the shorter width of the cell, although stalked ciliates that attach to a substrate usually reproduce by budding.
Background color dark Brownish Green, with nine dark transverse bands. The first running through the eye and the last lying at the base of the Caudal fin.
Caudal fin with transverse black bar across peduncle and round or square black spot on middle of each lobe. Dorsal fin with black spot on distal part of anterior rays. Anal fin with 4-5 simple rays, 9-11 branched rays.
The flanks are orange-brown with alternating transverse, turquoise stripes. The ventral fins are orange to red, while the anal fin is is bluish with a white to orange edging. The caudal fin is dull orange, and the dorsal fin is also dull orange.
Transverse scale count backwards 6-8, head, predorsal, breast, belly and pectoral base naked with narrow, often broken, dark bars on pale body, including short oblique dark bar across side of body commencing in the gap between dorsal fins.
They have transverse stripes, which are formed by spots running across their pectorals. The upper parts of the body are olive with the ventral a silvery yellow with red hues. Their fins are vibrant pink with tiny violet-brown spots.
Gape, width of
the greatest transverse distance across the opening of the mouth.
The banded puffer is covered in spines (except for its "nose", tail, and near the pectoral fins). This puffer is often confused with Colomesus asellus, due to the black bands that transverse its dorsal region.
In the juvenile, the fish is dark on its back with an obvious boundary between the white of its sides and belly; also, the fish lacks stripes, but has spots instead. The adult colour is brown-olive, with about 13 or 14 dark transverse bands reaching ...
By then it's time to glue both the transverse and length glass strips that will prevent our construction from breaking. The same procedure with the excess of silicones is repeated the next day as mentioned above.
