Bought these fish a few months ago and they just aren't the same as my p.maccus.
But are they just a variation or a different species?

Thanks. Think you are right - I did look through but clicked on the ones least like mine first time through.
Maybe it will develop more spots as it develops. Thing I notice most about it is the thicker lips (when compared to my bns) when resting under a log.
Came out today when couldn't resist the New Era stick on food. Didn't like me photographing though which didn't help.
