or ? Compare your photos to this image: http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/ima ... ge_id=6876. Is there any fold of skin connecting the last dorsal ray to the body or adipose fin? As far as I can see, the photos are not clear on this.

Looks to me like a bruiser of a L128. Colors in this species (L200/L128) have been shown to vary by collection point. If it was my fish, it'd be priceless. Nice fish!

Looks too dark to me to be a green phantom; that's why I was suggesting a blue phantom or black phantom. But they are all related as far as I know. Have you read this article? http://www.planetcatfish.com/cotm/cotm. ... cle_id=151

I agree, that is an L128 that is mature.

looks L128 to me too, they don't photograph as blue as they look in the aquarium, but the light blue edges on the fin to me scream Blue Phantom.
