Um....I m not sure they are all 236 or not...but there's one at least which looks very close to it.
Head shape, eyes, colouration, and pattern....so at least one I think it's 236.

I am relatively confident that these fish were caught en masse, so it is highly unlikely that one would be L-236 and the others not. However, importing of L-236 is pretty much at a standstill, due to native activities, so I highly doubt that these fish are in fact 236.
