"Xingu vittata" = L15. I don't know what the fish is. Not Xingu vittata.

L129 I would say without a little doubt as the head looks a little too pointed. This is odd becuase L129 (and L204) do not come from Brazil (Rio Xingu).

Hi!

I would agree with Jools about L129!
That is the closest that I find matching with this one!

It could also be a yet to be referenced species...coming from the Rio Xingu but I really doubt it!
Cheers
