I have a 4 foot tank which I have been putting young Hypans in for the last couple of years, I recently put some powdered food in and these fry appeared from everywhere, there looks like about 3 generations in there but | am not sure what they are? There are L002. L052, L340, L066 and a couple more in there but I am leaning towards L002 with these - anyone hazard a guess? I should have separated all the adults ages ago to avoid crossbreeding but these all look the same. I saw a couple a couple of months ago but had no idea there were this many in there.

my first thought after looking at them also seem to go with your view of L002. Any chance of getting a close up ? cheers jk :thumbup:

majority certainly look like young L002, but there are a few in the mix that look like young L340 too
