L333 Black and White?

Post by magdalo »

Been seeing these sold online. While some are listed as L333 Black and Yellow. Which is the true L333?

The true "L333" as it is quite variable, has kinda become a gray area. Many fish from the Xingu are all lumped into the L333 name, only time will tell what's what.

This article should give you an idea of why it's so confusing. http://www.reef2rainforest.com/2014/04/ ... ack-white/

Your safest bet is keep all "L333" sorted by source, and when possible, purchase those with a location included.
