Can anyone confirm if they are L333 or is there any particular area (head, tail, fins) that I should try get a shot of to confirm the species...

I also have pics of the Fry from the previous spawn if that helps...

Do you need more photographs from other angles to confirm the ID? I plan to release him back to the tank soon...

I think its a L333, didnt know there was two variations of L333 now (aiyo confusing)....

The reason why I say L333 is the yellow/gold stripes on this fish, plus it is slightly broader than my other hypan that I bought as L66...

Other differences include the yellowish colour stripes, my L66 has greyish coloured stripes as do my other lower xingu/L400s...

Bro, if im not wrong, new Alenquer L333 is nothing new, iz has been ard years back, they are gold/black combination. Port Do Moz is new found in recent yrs.
