Prime hit the nail on the head...The Aussies are definately prettier in most cases....Here is my Indo Tusk, I like him just fine though

the reason most people want the aussie tusks is because they tend to be hardier, and more colorful. The general opinion is that all indo tusks are caught with cyanide, but many people have success with them, and the live for many years. The key to keeping this fish is to find an alert active eating fish, once they acclimate, they are very durable.
