how do u tell the difference between l13 n l163?

L13 has smaller (and higher number of) spots than L163.

I don't know where L13 or L163 comes from, but I would guess they are also from different places, which would be another indication of which one a particular fish is. Of course, assuming that you can find the CORRECT origin, rather than some non-specific such as "Manaus" [One of the places where fish is being EXPORTED from, but the actual fish may have been captured several thousand kilometers away].

L163 keeps the "orange colour" in its fins while being full grown as L13 tend to loose it as they grow
