More pic's. L134 is a peckolita-- note the similarities in hypan shape (i.e. head shape, eyes, dorsal fin). This fish came straight from a reputable German breeder, there is no question it is L173.

You may want to know L173 should be white in colour . Same as L46 just that the lines are wavy and eyes are golden .
Hope you dont mind but your fish looks yellow in colour . Is it due to the flash ?

My L173 for your ref
