So I told the LFS to order me some c. adolfoi...
See them came in a week back but didn't buy them until today...
price was $19.99 each.. got 4 of them...maybe i will buy the last one in the coming weeks if its is still there..
So i need to id this little guy...pretty sure they are c. duplicareus (hope they are)
Sorry for the pictures as my water is really tanned.

According to the description C. duplicareus has serrations on the posterior edge of the pectoral fin spine, whereas C. adolfoi does not. This of course is not easy to see in a normal aquarium. The best way to see if your fish have these serrations would be to place them into a shallow, preferably white, container and shine a light up from underneath. Then with the aid of a magnifying glass you should be able to see if there are any serrations or not.
As a general rule C. dupilcareus tends to be a little stockier than C. adolfoi and the black band is usually a little broader.

my gut say C. Duplicareus
99% sure.
Black mark is too wide to be Adolfoi and Duplicareus are common sold as Adolfoi.

I like this spieces better as they grow with age unlike adolfoi.

I think everything grows with age
BTW, what is the LFS? I never trust Aquatic Unlimited's ID's anymore.. they list they get in TRUE L46's and come it to find it is L129... disappointing.
