Merry Christmas,

Can anybody identify which kind of Sturisoma these are?

Thanks in advance

Looks like S. panamense or aureum to me.

Take a look at this post.

There seems to be more questions than answers when identifying these but I do see
that this has the curved dorsal fin (S. panamense/aureum)?

looking at the head shape especially the nose it looks like S.panamense, any idea where it was collected from

Thanks

These are collected in large numbers in the lower Magdalena and shipped from Bogota. They are usually identified as Sturisoma aureum in the trade.
