It’s for sell as a L260 but i can't tell for sure

Post by Olivier »

I want to buy a group of the L260.
The man who wants to sell them gave me this picture.

I don't think it is the L260 what do you think?

Not quite sure. Is that the true colour of the fish - L260 should be nearly black with slightly off-white lines. This looks more medium grey with beige lines.

Thanks!

@ Mats: I don't no for sure that is the true colour of the fish because I haven't seen it jet.
This is a picture the seller gave me.

I now also think that it is a L066 but with very tight lining.
I know for sure that I'm not buying this fish because I really want the L260.

That's almost certainly young 260 whose colors are faded due to stress or a camera flash. It's not 66 and the only other option would be 411, but the spots probably make it 260.

I agree with drpleco. Looks like an average L260.

Sorry, i was wrong, the more i look at the picture and after reading the above quote, i agree they are young L260.

Hey!!

I have seen them today with my one eyes en the colour is much blacker than on the picture.
It a shame that I have cancelled the deal because the were already sold out!!!

I hope next time I have more luck.

Thank you very much everyone!!!
