I have two L182s, and your fish looks nearly exactly like them. It is possible for fish stores to make mistakes concerning where their shipments come from.

I would say that unless you personally collected the fish in Peru, or someone you know did, that these are really L182.

A: Well, Cartman doesn't exist in real life, but if he did he'd be two feet tall.

Rio Branco (which is where the first L182s were said to come from) really isn't that far from Peru.
