Has anyone seen a small L95?

I would go with L152 now. Traditionally L95 are always imported at larger sizes its very rare to see small specimens. In this paper on L95 there is a picture of 10cm SL specimen who has orange across the edges of its fins.

Thank you for doing all this research matubula!
It seems that L95 does show the orange as small as 4"

No problem. Its a species that interests me too.

Anyone else seen a small (4") L95 without the red on the fins?
