Both were sold to me as the same type of wolf. I know pics from the underside are better, but wow what a difference... Comments?

Picture group 1 Contains an ID'd Lacerdae.

Picture group 2 Contains an ID'd Mala.

Just thought I would throw these up here.

Can you provide a better pic of the teeth lines of the second fish. Mainly we need the underside of the mouth as in the first pic. The angle is bad however the teeth lines on both look the same to me.
 
Hi again....
Well....the first one is a cf.lacerdae for sure...and I "think" the second one is also a cf.lacerdae, but the angle is not the best (even if the lines looks to be parallel as they does on the cf.lacerdae).
But the biggest problem is if YOU dont think that both are cf.lacerdae and still think that one of them looks as a cf.malabaricus.
I think you said that you bought one of these from Ken and the other one from John....right?
Well....my solution is;
I must send some uruguayan fishes to USA in march....and I can send 1 cf.lacerdae to you....for free of course....and then you can return what you think is a "mala" to Ken or John.
I hope you like the idea? :)

Regards!

Thanks Felipe, Works for me, Chris I will ship the new fish to you at my cost and you can keep the one you have now too. I'm sure as they grow you will see they are all lacerdae. Ken
 
It is a good deal, but honestly Im not looking for something here. I just want to be able to be sure of what I have. I wouldn't mind a third fish of course, but there seems to be alot of confusion surrounding these fish, and I was simply trying to clear it up.
