Hello,

why? you don`t have a photo of the complet fish. It could be a L66 L333 L399 and L401.

In my opinion to ID it, the photos are not enough. A photo of the compleat fisch from the side and the top.

The coloration of the fish is very stessed!

Hi!!
Michael, you can clearly take some out without doubt...

L333, fish not enough bulkier build to be one, caudale pedoncle rather thin comapre to L333
L401: colouration clearly doesn't match, L401 mostly darker than this individual
L399 found these to be slightly flatter than the others

Leaves L66 which could very much be this fish I admitt, I base my ID mainly on pattern and colour
I found that fish rather whitish and pattern with small reticulated black lines and dots...which lead me to believe it is L400

Cheers
Yann
