Hi!
He does look like the L330, especially the second part of the body...

The upper part of it's body looks like l27, the l330 is spotted as opposed to striped.The snout doesn't look spotted enough to me, to be l330.
Still confused though

DATZ writes that even a spotted belly on a striped fish makes it L330 (and the import from Colombia of course) So it doesnt need to have spots on the head/upper body.

The stripes will all turn to spots in time.

Is this one that you are thinking about getting as mentioned in other threads, or is this the one that died?
