What size are they?
They Look like something between my L411 and the fish from this topic.
If their size less then 5 cm then I think It is L411.

I think they are one of the variants which fall within the L333 group.

I've bought them as L260. And they look like the fish from topic.

Yes L411, it doesn't look like a cross breed.

Could the upper fish on the first pic be a L260?
It has more colouration in these stripes and big eyes, L411 has more grey and small eyes. Also L411 has more fine lines and L260 less fine lines.
