L333s or something else???????

[chee78]

Hi Everyone!

I purchased a colony of L333s about a month ago. Yesterday I got two more sub adults L333s from someone else but the markings are totally different. I have look back on a lot of post here showing L333s pics but nothing looks like my colony of L333s. Have I got some other Ls by miss I.D.?????????
L066s maybe??????

And should I remove the two new additions so they can't cross breed?

Pic 1 - one of two new L333s. (100% sure it is a L333)
Pic 2 - same fish as above with the backside of a L333 from the colony
Pic 3, 4, 5, 6 - L333s from the colony

I'm totally confused!!!!!!!!!!!!!:dk::dk::dk::dk::dk::dk:

the new one looks much younger and hence does not have all the markings yet? hard to tell the size difference in pics.

The new ones scribbles havent come in yet as its only young. They change month by month which is why on young ones I keep, I do photos every couple of months so I can tell who's who and how much change in scribbles they've had.

I would be a bit worried on the tail of the 6th photo. That does look more like a forky L066 tail than an arc'd L333 tail. Could be just the angle and that its a male as males can have longer dorsal filaments than usual.

Thanks guys, I will monitor their patterns as they mature.

I have to agree with Brengun, the last pic has quite a fork in that tail...Not a 'C' But in saying that it isn't fully open either..

All the fish in the original colony have the similar body patterns, tails are similar too, 7 are adults and one sub adult, sub adult is one of their offspring, this sub adult also looks different to the two new ones of similar size @ 6cm.
My adult males are @ 12-13cm.

What other differences are there between L333s and L066s?
