Hi guys

I saw this being sold as a real Julii but doesnt seem like one to me.

However I don't think it looks overly Trilineatus like.

Could it be a ?

Edit - oops forgot the pic.

Hi,

this specimen looks quite young, in my humble opinion it's not possible to say for sure although I also would tend more to C. trilineatus.
Do you have any information about the origin, is it wild caught (from Peru?) or aquarium bred ?

Cheers,

It is not Julii. Looks like trilineatus.
