Could anyone tell me if this is an L173 (thats what it was bought as), reason is I had two and one died after getting trapped and I would like to get more but want to be sure it is one first

Hi, sorry but i don't think this is L173 , most likely imo L399/L400.
Here's some good L173 pics :

That could even be an L066... but it isn't what you were told it was that is for sure

Well I have a pair of very similiar fish and they were sold to me as L066. And looking at the L066 page the markings are very similiar.

I have seen L066 in outsidin aquatics and the lines are different in real life and the head shape on mine is blunter at the front.
guess with these guys you can never be sure,,think I will just forget the whole thing and get rid of him
