Positive ID on this

Post by Birger Amundsen »

Hi.
Can anyone make a positive ID on this? It was bought as L333, but looks a bit like L129 to me?
It`s not so yellowish as in the pic.[Image]

What size is teh fish? It looks like a young fish to me, and that makes it much harder to identify.

I would recommend growing it to about 5cm before you try to identify it. A lot of juveniles look quite different from their parents. As they mature, they become more like their parents, of course.

3cm is too small for a definant ID. Try again when its about twice the size.
