Asking for a positive ID again. These fish were caught in Venezuela. Are they L128, L200 or both?

Looks like half-spot L200. Read this post

Hi!

I agreee with HH, but just one thing regarding the fish in front of the pic in the middle, the spots are rather strange, not looking like spot at all and have a rather very dark yellow colour, the green color is also more dark... interesting but also strange fish... some more pic in several month from now should be interesting to see how the fish has change or not!
Finally the last pic clearly show a nice male without any possible doubt...

Cheers
Yann

Am I mistaken or isn't the fish in the front in the middle pic the same fish as the one in the front in the top pic? Looks like it, comparing the spots. That way the strange colour would be due to camera/lightning etc.

I have one L 200 home, but it's still fairly small, about 6 cm. Very active, highly keen on zucchini and extremely beautiful in colour.

That is an interesting spot pattern - Jorge, any problem if I use that picture in the cat-elog?

In this case I'm not the author of the picture. I know the owner of the fish but not the photographer. It was made for someone in Tenerife whose nickname is Bostero. I'm going to try to contact him and ask for permission to be used in the cat-elog.
