These two was given to me as freebies when I purchased my L46 trio about 2 years ago. They lived in my 210 gallon show tank until recently when I broke down the tank. I was happy to still find them both alive! I dont know what they are. Someone help! Sorry for the bad pic, hopefully someone know what they are...

All pictures of the same 2 fish correct?
I pretty much suck at Hypan ID but I'm thinking L333 or L270.

mmm

i dont think they are 333 as the tail is forked too much...

for being over 2 years old they arent really big enough across the "shoulders" for 333's either.....

definitely not 066's.... dont think they are 236's either

they are quite long and lean so my moneys on L270's.....

well hard to tell, but nice fish!
if they are L270 they will be a little more brown and cream rather than black and white and that can be hard to see in some photos.
maybe L333 or one of the even less common hypans.
