L82?

Post by EDGE »

Someone sent me a few photos of the L82 they are selling. 1 of them look L82, the other I am not too sure because the body is a lot thicker (taller) than the other L82. Approx 5" guesstimate is 1M 1F

I did not see them in person. This is not a store and I didn't want to go to their house to look at the fish

The one with the thicker body and the stomach view should be the same fish.

I think it may be the angle of the photo and the picture with the fish in hand with wood in the background.

I agree with Jools... I think it is the angle. Sexing them is difficult and I always find pictures from above are best for this. Pictured is what I believe to be a pair. Body shape, head shape/size, and fin size are the best way to sex them IMO.
