Dear Friends :
Attached pictures were possible to be my stocks, but I doubt why the head carry the yellow color? Will it disappear when they grow up? And what L number it would be?

How big is the fish? It looks fairly small, which would make ID quite hard.

About 5 cm, is it possible the yellow color will disappear in the future?

As I can't identify the fish, I can't say whether the yellow colour is part of it's natural colouration or not... The size indicates that the fish is likely to grow to at least double the size before fully grown, so it's not impossible that both pattern and colouration can change - I'm not saying it WILL change, tho'.

Last year I received some L199 that where supposedly caught from the Brazilian side and looked much like your fish with the brown/yellow coloration in the head. As they continue to grow they are looking more like L199.
