That’s a female notatus.
I should ask a moderator to edit the title to "My Severum collection" or something similar. She is a wild caught that was gifted to me a year or so ago. She had been living in my 220 until recently. She is now housed in my 260.

Added 3 new sev's today. Traded a 20g hex with stand and a AC20 Filter. Received a nice 4-5in male turquoise, a 4-5in Liberifer and a 2in ish Green.

Well bugger. The original H.L. did not appreciate the addition of a new member. So, she(?) is residing in a net with the lights out. Hopefully after a few days I will be able to release her(?) into the tank. I had to add some paraguard to the tank. I went ahead and added some to the 260g a d the 220 as well

Had to move the new H. Liberifer to the 260g as the Lg H. Liberifer would not cohabitate.

ryansmith83 ryansmith83 am I correct identifying the second one as a H. Liberifer? Last picture foreground fish is one I'm questioning. Background fish is my smaller male H.L.

No, that’s not liberifer. One of the substrate spawners. The red eye and the bronze-orange color look similar to female notatus but she’s lacking the black blotches formed by the lower half of the vertical bars, so I’m not sure you could definitively say it’s notatus.

Thank you. What about the possibility of it being a H. Severus "Inirida"? Seems there isn't much out there on them.
On an aside, did exodus1500 exodus1500 go to the dark side of FB?
