If you are willing to pay it go for it. They are quite rare around here and expensive when wild caught

I am in the uk can only find online £50 for a 4inch one yes I will place an order just hope it is a teugelsi as quite often fish get labelled wrong especially when they are on the rare side.

The top pic has the coloration of a Teugelsi but the head shape is throwing me off.

Looks like a lapardei…

yes I am no expert but the mouth and body markings made me say lapardei it also has a missing right eye and a very small right pectoral fin looks to a fish born with defects going to contact them today
