Nope, not a leiarius pictus, its a leiarius marmoratus...u can definitely distinguish between the two if u look up pics on google. Leiarius pictus have the weird curved line(s) on the side of their bodies

I just now noticed the one I posted a pic of is actually a leiarius pictus (it said it was a leiarius marmoratus when I found the image, they had to of made a mistake), but they both get large

leinarius Pictus has a really big fan shaped dorsal fin.

mine definitely is a leiarius marmoratus.
Although after watching this vid, I'm having second thoughts about keeping it
