is it chocolate talking catfish Acanthodoras cataphractus?
thanks in advance,

It's a zebra Pleco
The eyes are giveaway.

The 173s indeed look genuine 173
But to me, unfortunately mostly look males based on the pictures shown, despite them not caving as you reported.

Any new updates on their pictures?
Thanks

Hi, just to bring back an old post, could it be the new Panaqolus cf. changae L469? from Peru.
any possibility?

they are L400 bro..

Thanks Mr Haakon, I 100% agree with your deduction. The male still somehow retained 90% of its nice pattern and coloration but due to them being kept in dark background tank. But if it is placed in a light coloured tub the colour will return fully. Anyway, the group's fry did maintain a uniform deep...

still L66 bro..

most look like L401 to me... the ones with thin lines and spots.

Nice specimen from a known locality with already given L-number, could be the "Emperor" version of that number, not necessarily a different species. So in this case, for the one posted by unungy could be the "emperor/mega crown" version of L340. emperor or mega crown version, i b...

what i suggest is, if you are not sure of what you are buying, consult some of your friends who are good in that fish to confirm before purchasing or at least read up more on them.

1st post, both fishes are L66.

Looks like H. sp Lower Xingu to me...

both are L201.
Look at the small spottings on the caudal. H. contradens have uniformly sized spottings all over the body and finnages.
On top of that, the Caudal shape is consistent with L201 Caudal shape.
H. contradens caudal shape is more like L333 caudal shape.

Janne and HaakonH did suggest that the nice one is L236 but according to Pleco22, it is an aberration of L333. This is indeed a very controversial topic but i try to breed with a female with the same body shape instead of pattern and of course and L-number closest to it, which is L333. The nice male...

yah this one i have to give it to him haha...

Yup me too, will continue to update here..

some updates... pattern still very blurry.. but can see majority are yellow...
too bad cant take nicer pics.., maybe another update in a month's time

1 month old (1 week ago)

this was how it looked like top view

(female at bottom)

My "princess" turn out to be a "prince", hohoho, not a bad thing after all... (oroginal ID thread was here: http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=33935) http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f329/jmur3/DSCN8226.jpg First timer dad didn't disappoint me, never eat...

new thread on the breeding here:
http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/view ... =5&t=35283

yup, they are Hypancistrus sp. lower rio xingu...

L340 has flatter and elongated head with bumps. their tail also different. L340 has tail similar to L129 and L270 type of caudal.

I see L173 to be Hypancistrus looking like zebra pleco but bigger, with distinct wavy lines, golden eyes and seldom with spottings. With all due respect, i am afraid to say that the fry that you posted do not look like L173 at all in any aspect. What you posted are Hypancistrus with rather stout (no...

Looks like a clear cut L400 to me...
unless they were a product of hybridization..

i can be sure that they are not L411,
L411 would look like L260 more, with thin white/grey broken lines close to each other.

look like juvenile L401.

I only have 1 pair trapping for 1 month but no result, they are still trapping as i type... :(( I will separate the rest and start another breeding colony for them. I have gotten them this year Feb and they don't seem to grow longer, so you were saying they will stay at that size? So as you can see ...

Hi HaakonH and Pleco 22, I do own a couple of these, wild, i classify them under L400. Is it ok to place them under L400? They came in with big L400 at 3.5 to 4.5 inches. That was why i label them as L400, however, this new thread brought some light and i begin to suspect they are not. They have thi...

They look like L400 to me, especially the 1st picture.
