Your image is not that clear but looks more like Adolfoi than duplicareus.

Ah, another Yorkshireman!

Can you get one so you can view down on it on to a light surface? Iirc, dups have slight serrations on their pec fins, although can be hard to distinguish.

I have also found that adolfoi are cheaper than dups.

Until recently, almost every 'adolfoi' was a duplicareous. Now it seems adolfoi are more commonly available. Both Pier Aquatics and rare Aquatics have wild stock available at very reasonable prices.

The fish in the pic look the real deal.

Mark.

Hoplo - Do you mind if I ask where you got your Adolfoi from?
