Bigger spots makes me think L177 Iriri.

Seems to be an L18 nugget.

This is my very small L18 2.5" juvenile.

The main difference between L177 as compared to L81 and L18 is that L177 nuggets are much more darker(black) in body color with thick golden seams in the dorsal and caudal fins. L18 nuggets are more dark green in body color with thin yellow seams and medium spots. i.e L177 spots are gold and both L81 and L18 spots are yellow.
