Description

There is even evidence of cannibalism, as the bigger ones ate the smaller ones.Model in cold porcelain, 1:1 scale (big individual in life size).

I recently bought a Dastilbe Elongatus. They are very cute fish... but now that I'm looking at it it might not been a Elongatus.
Btw your models are very nice, are you planning to sell any?

I didn't get a notification for your comment (because it was a reply to another user, I bet), so sorry for the late reply. I only saw it now, browsing my posts.
Dastilbe elongatus was synonymized to D. crandalli, which is the genus' only valid species nowadays. I agree that they look cute, and they remind me of wild guppies (we see a lot of them at lakes and rivers margins, with mostly tiny individuals and some bigger ones).
Thank you! These models were already made under orders, so are sold. I take new commissions though, so if you're interested it is just send me a note or an email to opaleoartista@gmail.com

If the species was alive, for sure. The model itself isn't a good idea
