PBB or Lap, or ???

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Didn't have time to edit my last post, but here is a rough photo from above of one of mine. It looks longer between the tip of snout to pectoral fins IMO.

I am no expert, but I would like to give my humble guess.

Judging from the features shown: The thick lips, the elongated head shape and its similarities of the pectoral fin in comparison with tokyogasmask.

My guess would be a PBB. Anymore picture to show the number of dorsal fins?
 
from what i can see of the patterns, it reminds me of koliba/koloton type of species. doesn't seem to be Pbb or nigerian lap.

I was thinking the same on my first post. Head shape kinda look like koloton.
 
I agree that it's headshape does resemble that of a sp.koloton. How long has it been in captivity? Most PBB's are usually olive green for the longest time before patterns start coming out. Sp.kolotons and Sp.koliba's usually display strong patterns and contrast out of the box, regardless of stress level. The pictured specimen's pattern is already pretty strong and will only get better. However (it's hard to tell from the pic) wouldn't its base color be different if it was an sp.koloton or sp.koliba? The specimens that I have from each species each have a more gold/light brown base color rather than green.
