Thanks Janne!

I was thinking the same (I'm sure you meant L048 and L368) but I've had him over a year (or more) and it says in Wels 2 they get to ~40cm.

Neh, I meant L042 or L362 :wink:
I have L368 by my self and it seams that they keep their big and fewer spots when they grow and yours have many smaller spots...I dont know if there are any other differenties between these 3 species.
