Did they come from Peru?

I think the colour of the caudal fin matches L191 better than L418.

im not sure where they are from and i got them as L191 from 2 different shipments.

i have seen someone trying to sell young L418 which look very similar to fish in pic #1 :roll: :roll: . of course not because of that im saying mine is L418.

If you look at the young that we have pictures of in the Cat-eLog, they are a bit different from the juveniles - mainly in that L418 has more white on the edges of the caudal fin.

Since the fish is out of water, it's hard to say for sure what it actually looks like, and the lighting is different between the two pictures. But I think both have a similar "window" in the caudal fin, and only white tips at the very end of the caudal fin.
