friedrichsthalii or Motaguense?

[RTMotaguense]

I bought this fish about 7 months ago and I bought him as a Jaguar (which of course its not, and the guy obviously did not know what he was talking about). I was told by some that it's a mota and by others i was told it was a friedrichsthalii. I think its a mota but sometimes he looks like a friedrichsthalii. Please someone let me know.

Thanks

Neither, Loiselli. Female, I'd guess. Haven't I seen this thread before.

It's a Loiselli. Here are some pics of my Fredrichsthalii, notice the vertical bars, the Loiselli does not have the vertical bars.

okay if that's a loiselli.....then what's the difference between a friedrichsthalii and a "gold" tiger motaguense ??? (not a red tiger but a gold!)
