JORG Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 They are not sultans-264's but they did arrive in the same box as the 264's, I will check out those numbers Charles. I should have mentioned the photo's are of the same fish there is just 2 of these that are identical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First photo looks to be L314.pretty sure it is not L264 I checked out those numbers Charles--- theL91 is from another country (these are from Brazil) and the L314's have a different pattern on the dorsal fin.

Charles Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Jorg: Can you photo it in water? Sometimes when it is up outside of water, fish looks different in color and pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
