I found these pics on an asian forum.

They called it a pink L25.

Has anyone seen anything like it before?

I have some variant that look like the fish you posted.
There is also a similar looking fish in Ingo Seidel's L-Numbers book.
In there he has captions that mentioned these variants are from the Rio Iriri.
I got my specimens in the same import as what I think are the Sao Felix variant.

Another point I noticed is that these variants seem to only have the orange in the dorsal and caudal tail filament.
Oh, and they don't have orange patches on the body flanks too.
If someone has a specimen that shows what I mentioned above to be untrue please post pictures if you can.
Thanks!

Here is a picture of the said variant.

And here, a picture of what I believe is the Sao Felix variant.
If someone thinks it is not or thinks it is so, please let me know so I can learn!
My current opinion is that they don't have spottings when small can can develope spotting or horizontal "wormlines" between the spikey odontodes along the side-flank when larger.
