Leuk Pics!!!

[blface]

Here's the better pics I promised awhile ago. Do you still think it's a leuk??

Obviously a hybrid, but I'm going with theillei for two reasons:
1. It looks like one
2. The people who collect in the area that leucs come from, know what a leuc is and are very unlikely to send one out as a less expensive fish.

That just makes it even nicer!!! I'd love to try & pair it w/ a cap.

Id love to get my hands on that fish. VERYYYYY cute

in my extremely limited knowledge of leucokranos, the body doesnt look nearly broad enough to be a leuc, and the eye is looks very ocellaris/perculaish, not enough chrysopterus.

for some reason i keep thinking theillei when ever i see that fish.

i dont know why but it just seems a little too similar. but at this point it is probably more than impossible to really tell

great fish either way

After all both are rumored to be hybrids so it could be either and just a variation. Like I said though, beautiful fish. You should be proud and happy to own him. To me I lean more towards leuk but I am far from expert.
