i never knew how to post pics i only wanted to post them so can show others than maybe they can have an idea as for me always knew what have at first others laughed at me when said 200 can be full or half spot same with 128 lol in end the key question is will they cross as in au these rare why not. straight out my 200 pair one look 200 other darker look 128 i bet they produce both fry so in the end it does not bother me even trying to buy this one once seller back from holiday as the more the better . if anything johnno i have few numbers no1 even me know what they are i should post pics of them 1st i mean have idea what they are but not 100% i just going off the l number books

i cant tell you which is which - ask a friend to help you post some pics :whistle:

the reason 128s and 200's are different is because they live in different parts of the amazon... their colour differences have evolved over time... harder enough trying to breed 128x128.... and 200x200.... little lone cross breed them.... :wb:

sorry but if that is all you are going off collection point that is weak evidence as stated before i do not trust the collectors words as they trying to make a living they will tell you what you want to hear to make that sale second why the hell would they tell the public were exact collection point is that is there bread and butter . last you claim they parted long time ago ok they parted but key thing your forgetting before they did they were one your claiming so if me and my brother move interstate does that mean we not family or related . if it were not for the shadow of this specimen will be more green the shadow make it look darker ok slight blue on top fin but what if the band goes with age also my final evidence mix green with offwhite i sure you end up with blue even there colour code is a match

you and i and everybody else in australia would have no evidence of where the fish are collected thats why we read and learn from scientists who catch these fish in their natural habitat and photograph them and classify them based on scientific facts... so who are you to tell them they are wrong? :wb:
unless you caught your own fish in the amazon and brought them over here i will always take the given information from scientists in their chosen field of expertise over a fish keeper who has kept these fish for a short period of time :thumbup:

i have owned both 128's and 200's and seen many more over the last 10 years and i have never encountered a fish that isnt easily identified as a 128 or a 200...

lets finish this argument once and for all - stop making excuses you cant post pics and post up some pics and everybody can give you their opinion on which fish you have and then you'll know for certain as well....

theres no doubt 128 and 200 are descended from the same fish some time ago... just the same as 333's 66's and other scribble patterned pleco all descended from one hypan some time ago....
if 128 and 200 are same fish as you say why have the worlds scientists classified them as 2 different species??? somehow i think they are in a much better position than you or me or anyone else in australia to make the correct judgement :thumbup:
