L075? L163? Something else?

The big one on the right looks like a different species. Higher number of smaller dots than all the others.

These look to be all L163 (including the big, finely spotted one).

Could that big one be a female?

Having looked at the big one more closely, it may be different (having spotted vs. unspotted dorsal fin). Looks like some kind of
, but I'm not sure.

To be sure which species you have we need pic's showing them from their side, let them settle down for some days so they dont show stress colours.
I think you have bought L75 all of them, the ones that are export from Brasil comes from 3 different locations and they look different too. They come from upper Rio tapajos and lower Rio tapajos and the third comes from Rio xingu, these three are the most common ones in the trade.

Actually, they are not mine (yet

). A friend brought them in and we were trying to sex them when we thought that maybe the big one was not an L163. How can you tell an L075 from an L163? In some of the pictures in the Cat-eLog they look almost the same.
