L200 Green Phantom

[scatz]

You can find L200 and L128 either fully or partly spotted so this isn't a sign of its I.D.
To be honest, the colour isn't either, Both fish are basically the same sp (just slightly differing colours) and from the same river. The blues from the cooler top end, the greens from the slightly warmer bottom end, reason would suggest that somewhere in the middle, they will be a greeny blue colour

The blue is just a tinge mostly on fins and tail. Remembering basic colors, mix blue paint with yellow paint and you get green.

So what do you think I have mate?

I understand, in your opinion are they l200?

hi mongy,
this is a tough call, but i think scatz is on it when he said both phantoms live in the same water and there is obvioisly a meeting point ,where they probably do mate, hence the two-tone colors in your pics, however ,you said you never noticed any blue in real life, but shows up on the fins in the photos. I would be hardpressed myself to tell you L200 or L128 with all this info and the pics. I have seen photos of L200's with no blue tinges on the fins at all..really hard to say as we are looking at your photos, and only you have seen them live . Possibly they could be a mix which as scatz stated happens in the wild. sorry cant help any more. Pehraps you can check out some L200's on this site and see if they match up to what you have.
