Thanks, Ken. Yes, there are six of them, and also the Maia y Borges versions of them (also six). Maybe I'll post those here for comparison.

Maia & Borges is a Portuguese compgany. They mainly make comic models.
They have made several of the Schleich sealife on licence, - the coral fish are painted in a different way : [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I have sometimes wondered if it is actually M & B, who painted the models from Schleich, which are " Made in Portugal"
Does anyone know ?

Thank you Susanne ! What do you mean by "on licence" ? They used legally the Schleich models ?

Yes, they use exactly the same models, same mould, only with MB-logo on, - at least for the tropical fish

I never knew Schleich made tropical fish, they look really nice!

beautiful!

Thank you all for the kind comments!

Great question, Susanne. I've wondered the same thing myself. Maybe Crocobert knows?

Excellent photos of the M + B versions of these fish...

Wow Phil, you have completed the fish's set! And five of the six has still a label on it? That's pretty awesome find! Wow!

And thanks to you Phil and to Susanne as well, for the wonderful info regarding the other Portuguese Maya y Borges brand. Never thought of their existing to be honest.
