take a close up picture of the scutes... i looked at the many threads you started over on p-fury and they asked you over there for close up pics as well. this could easily be solved if you just take another clear pic...

here is a pic about a month ago of his belly its really kinda hard to get a good pic , without taken him out of the tank. Ill try to get a good close up and post it . thanks for all the replys 
gonna need a much better one than that... it needs to be a close up of the scutes with sharp enough detail to see the scute pattern

so take him out. actually thats even better, you can take a probe or pair tweezers and manipulate the scutes. Pull them away from the body slightly so that we can see them. A video might be the way to go. You'll probably need some help. Someone brave to either hold the P or manipulate the scutes. Clove oil might make it easier, but watch the dose.

I'm not sure i want to take him out but i guess that the only real way to get a 100% id on him i will post the pic if i do thanks

even then I wouldn't say it's 100%. There's no way to get 100% ID on a fish without DNA analysis.
