OK - any ideas which L number or do you think they are hybrids? I understand that many of the similar L numbers could be variants of the same species or are undergoing evolution from sub species to distinct species or even possible that natural hybrids may occur? e.g. like some african lake ...

In my humble opinion you need a none of the above option.
please enlighten me..... b-) From the pictures posted, I would have to say none of the above options seem like a likely ID.

8 to 9cm long body - looking at the fish and from past experience of older fish with faded colours etc. I would say they are youngish adults?

I am almost certain you have a L340 Megaclown - I have kept these for a number of years.

Limited info on the internet and assume it is not a described species?

Does anyone have any experience of ...

Does anybody please have any ideas on the sex of these L240?

My thoughts were:

Fish 1 - quite aggressive and spends time in slate cave, nicest colouration/pattern, thickened 1st ray of pectoral fins, rounded nose with bristles on side of nose. Confident this is a male.

Fish 2 - Rounded nose but ...

Interesting blog - I have a group of 5 L240's for the last few months which I acquired from 2 different sources with the aim of spawning- 2 larger fish about 7-8" and 3 smaller fish around 4-5". I am sure I have at least one male - it is the largest fish with the biggest fins, a rounded nose and ...

I just bought these 5 wild caught Leopard Frog catfish (L134's) at my LFS. I think I may have 4 females and 1 male - my assessment is that the central fish is the only male because the first spine of the pectoral fins are slightly thicker and the body profile is slightly slimmer than the others.
