i bought this from my lfs as an 183 when it was about 15mm long, now its about 35mm it looks very different to my other.
its alot lighter in colour, the white seam is broken on the tail and nothing on the dorsal.
any ideas?

cheers

Possibly an L100 ?

It looks just like the ones I used to breed and sell as "starlight" without giving an L number as I never got a conclusive answer....

hmmm not sure now, your pics look identical as mine, but been looking at the L100's and L182's and its difficult to tell :dk:

either way its not a L183 so i'm donating it to the tank i just set up for my mum.

thanks for your input guys

mine maxed out at common BN sizes - 5-6" max - they were breeding well at 4-5" too

also similar to L71 , there are several similar BNs and I suspect sometimes interbred as well. would not put withyour L183.

L182, L100,L71 :wb:1, wish i never started this thread now, lol. first i was thinking it must be a L182 now i'm realy not sure.

As soon as i can catch it without stripping down the tank i'll be moving him, then i wont have to think about it anymore lol
