Hi!

I think the pattern is too well defined for a L329...maybe L374?

Hi!

I doubt it is L374 as these are member of the L02/74/169... complex and do not develop such long filament in the caudal fins!

Might well be L329, the picutre in the Datz mag does not give justice to the fish as he might be a semi adult fish

Another possibility is L351...

Cheers

Hi!

Yes it is a possibility!
Would be interesting to know the origin of this fish, at least the country where the exportators was!
Any chance to be Peru?
Cheers

Hi!

the head pattern makes me remember a bit at but not really the rest of the body...
do u have an idea of where (which rio) in Peru!
I doubt it will get bigger than 15-20cm!
I am leaning more and more toward something new!
Cheers
