Good looking setup. I agree with the other fellas, looks like a Peru mono with all that blotching down the sides. Not a known fact but in my humble observations that blotching fades out the farther you get away from zero in generations. Zero being wild caught. The farmies seem to not have as much of that blotching, more just pronounced bars.
