Hi, just picked this guy up from a store, store owner wasn't sure exactly what type of L027 it is just said it came in as a L027 goldline 5"- 6" from the vender in brazil, could anyone on here give me a positive ID please, many thanks for your time

It is a very nice L27, that's for sure.
Yeah that's what I thought when I seen it, got for an absolute steal as well, only paid $60 in a sale for him\her, honestly couldn't turn it down for that price, hoping someone on here can give me a collection point ID, I will say that the fish now settling in looks more gold then in the pic.
 
It looks Araguaia L27

Gold eyes and tall forehead I'm sure it can be more gold but it in a black tank. I'm certain it's a Araguaia."

Its definatly turning more gold now it's settled in a bit, I'll post more pics next time it's out and about, problem is it only around 5" maybe 6" and like all royal plec's that size it tends to hide alot unfortioatly.

Finally caught the new guy out and about today, definitely settling in now as its beginning to rasp on the wood, here is few more pics to ID him, looks more gold in real life then in the pics.

Sorry third pic is so poor and doesn't show it's colours, it had gone to the back of the tank by that point, first two pics are far better representation of the fish.
