Hi,

I´d hazard a guess toward L 206. The pattern on their heads is significantly denser than in P. changae.

Cheers, Sandor

A good side shot would help, but I am pretty sure what you have there is a full grown Are you going to try and spawn them? When they are juveniles they are absolutely stunning!
