They look like L399's to me or the L400 variant but will need better pictures to confirm that.. Not L174 in my books.

Not L174...eyes are to big and tail is to long to be one.

Top picture doesn't look like L174. The ones above however do look like L174.
Every great achievement begins with a dream ;-)

I thought the bottom picture looked like a 174, but i think the top picture is a picture of the same fish, taken a few seconds later and the fish has moved a bit, as the same fish is still in the background of the picture !

I am trying to get pictures sent of the seven fish advertised as 174, and will have to wait and see if i receive any.

Hi again.

The bottom picture does look like L174 based on the eye size and body shape.
However the first picture its not for sure. L174 often come mixed with L400 and L399, L66 sometimes when collected from the wild.

Post some pictures of the real fish when you get them. There are a few people here that can help you to be 100% sure before your purchase.
If they are adults much better.
