Petricola or Lucipinnis

Post by Orbital »

I got a ton of these guys now, the adult group if from 3 different sources. I thought this would be good for genetics for hopeful breeding later. After I come back from basic training and AIT I find out that some petricola are not "really" petricola...

What are my guys?

The bottom photo definately looks like lucipinnis.

The top photo probably is also as it is not quite a fully spotted fish which petricola seems to be in every incidence.
