Hi,

looks like an undescribed Pseudorinelepis exported from Manaus, which is therefore called P. sp. "Manaus", it's almost entirely brown. To be sure, you should compare with P. genibarbis, which is also brown, but with smaller black spots on it.

Had one like this before. Not L095 IMO. More like L152 perhaps?

Hi,

it's not L 152, which should have orange tips on the lower and upper caudal hard ray. Furthermore the fish was labeled as L 95, that tells us it was exported from Brazil. L 152 have not been imported for quite a time, and if only in small numbers where people would have known what it is.
