I thought it might be color variant of L333. But it isn't. I think it is L236, but I am not that sure.

The color in L-333s is highly dependant on the condition of the fish. This fish looks ready for a hospital tank!

It certainly does not look like the CatE-Log shots of L-236.

Tha's what I thought, and when I wrote that I was highly doubtful. I think it's either L236 or l333

It looks like a L-333 which can be quite pale when stressed.

Hi,

the body shapes show an L333.
