Looks like L400 to me, how big are they?

BTW, must say it's the first time i hear of L173B.
Greetings,
John

It's controversial on what it means by real L173...
the classic view is it is just a wave-line zebra but some
germans put any species as L173... anyhow,
these tank-bred "L173" are rather similar to L400 but they
look more "white" and sharp than the usual L400...

they should be of sex-able size, does anybody want to guess on
their sex?

P.S: i guess L173B = L173, tank-Bred...
