Mats seems to be correct and I admit I was wrong, maybe something from the group... the body/head/eyes don't fit L002.

Sorry I can't provide before pictures cos I have 12 of them. So I really don't know which is which. But it's really like the pictures posted earlier and all 12 pieces looked similar, albeit the size and some finnages are shorter.

So are all 12 changed colour, if not, could you take a photo of one that hasn't changed colour?

If you're taking an "unchanged" individual out for the picture, can you also take pictures of the mouth and vent (for consistency in comparison)?

A bit shaky. Is this good enough?

Hard to say what that is - under water photos would be much easier to see what the actual colour of the fish is, I'd say.

What about the mouth area? Is it consistent?

As far as I can tell (yes, it's a bit "shaky"). It is certainly a very similar mouth/teeth shape.

If everyone look exactly as above they are indeed L002, well fed and stubby ;)
Interesting fenomena, hope they will do well due the colour change.

Funny thing is only 1 of them changed colour. The rest remains the same.

It certainly looks like or one of the half dozen or so other fishes that look pretty much identical except for colour/hue differences.

Hey Five-
How's your 'Xanto' doing? Hopefully alive and doing well. Your thread was linked to this one: http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/view ... =5&t=29063
