Nope, definitley not a 182, i would put money on it been L59, orange on fins and tail pretty much gives it away, i could be wrong but im 100% sure thats its not a 182

 

[helterskelter]

Now that i found a real pic of L59 yes i agree

Don't use google it's not the real thing listed there

No not really lol, ive found this species actually male and female grow bristles, if the bristles develope up the nose region toward the head then yes it's male, it could go either way at the moment going from the picture

Aye but I was going more on the shape. As from what I read males tend to be longer and slimmer and females shorter and stubby?

How big is yours/how old?, still looks very much a juvinile so basically it has a lot of growing to do and i'ding sex the way uve mentioned is pointless.

Am really happy with his/her personality seem very confident and not shy at all

Still alot of growing to do yet then, still could go either way... they are stunning little things but unfortunately the markings do tend to fade with age... still very nice though

What a great find. Did you get him for the price of a common BN?

 

[Jonathangerous]

I believe it is in fact a rio ucayali.

HaHa, yes quite possibly, i actually never thought that far ahead... just instantly thought hoplo.

 

[dave_oddballs]

are these not as common as the normal ones? they have a few of these in my lfs, exactly the same as the one in the original post, think they are only about 2 quid.
