I intend to purchase this lapradei from a friend but I just wanna make sure whether it's a WC or CB and which region it is from. Thanks in advance.

WC Nigerian lap. CB usually gets pale in a light substrates.

Nice... I would guess WC.

Well, it costs $80 at 14", which is around RM 200. If you were me, will you buy it, teohha? BTW, King-el, why do nigerian laps exist in so many types of color combo, like bright green + yellow, dark green + brownish-yellow and green + brown? I thought they all exist from the same source?

Tendou Souji >> I prefer to grow out my fish, so i would go for a smaller and cheaper one.

But if its a good deal I would say go for it, it has awesome markings.

Care to enlighten me on what's the difference between the head of a WC and a CB?

Just like humans, we have some dark skin tone and light skin tone. That also apply with many animals, especially in fish. Just like most bottom dwellers and nocturnal, they like to blend in with it's surroundings. Depends on the area they are collected from it what color they show.
