From looking through previous threads of those who really thought they had mgc, they all appear to have a pronounced shape nose and mouth , more like an m on its side. P. Hypophthalamus don't have that real m shaped nose/mouth, more the jaw sits flush ( more n on its side shaped). The photos don't really catch the fish square on from the side but if I had to chose it would be, no, doesn't look like the juvenile mgc others had. P. Hypothalamus for me, but just like most, i am no expert on mgc.
All that said, still a flip of a coin as to whether to get or not !

To put it this way, MGC juvenile have a large head, shape of a human thumb. They have larger occipital bone, makes a hump between the end of the skull up to the shoulders

My DP are actually the Mekong Giant
