Hi, I was sold this one a few years ago and told by the d shop it was L289. I have no reason to disbelive it. but have no expert to veryify it either.
I have this lonely male, have been trying to locate another one for years.
he is very difficult to photo but on ocasion has come out in the daylight - but not time to clean glass etc so usually awful shots.
here is one taken a year ago
here are a couple bad shots taken yesterday, his bristles are looking good and you can count the rays on his back if that helps. also see spiny pec fin
If I can get any better ones i will try.
will clean the glass today and hope he comes out.
the eye is bright cos used flash.
IF you can confirm the ID that would be great, also if you have any idea where i might find a female that would be wonderful. thanks. Irene
