The front is a male L66. How long have you raised them? L66 and L333 fries are quite easy to differentiate as the 333 tail isn't that forked.

front is definitely L66, back may also be L66.
if they are from the same spawn according to the breeder, then both should be L66

approx 3 years. Then I was new to this breed and took the seller's word for it.

Thank for confirming my doubts.

I bought them together, was told it was WC white based L333.
Thanks for confirming.

if WC then cannot entirely blame the seller...
as last time supplier/lfs may label them wrongly

Both looks like L66 to me. And the pc in front is a nice handsome looking male. It would be nice if you can breed this handsome male.

Can't really determine whether the one behind is a male or female.

BTW, are you based in Singapore or Europe?
