Re: How to distinguish LDA007 (L114) from L273?

Your fish has small head pattern so it's LDA07. LDA07 isn't L114, LDA07 looks more like "real" L600.

Pseudacanthicus sp. L282?

Hi. I received an interesting Pseudacanthicus piece a month ago. It's 30 cm male with "pure" dark black body with bright white spots. I find it interesting that L097 is said to be smallest pseudacanthicus but this male is already 30 cm at a age of ~6 years. So could this be the controversi...

Re: Pleco ID

I got another piece (sorry pic quality). Looks like stuby's fishes above. Sold as L124 too. L006 looks a bit same too.

Edit. This actually can be L124. Looked more closely of L124 pattern variations.

I hope you didn't pay for it as much as histrix costs. :D It's just a common pterygoplichthys pardalis.

Re: Pleco ID

To be honest, I feel fish number 1 is a L387. His small spots stop at the eyes. But L147 has small spots back to the dorsal fin. What I am way more curious about are the other 2 fish. Can you get a picture of their caudal fins? looks like the caudal is spotted as well? It's no typical L147 on any o...

Re: Pleco ID

As i said these are not my fish, but I think the most interesting thing is that there is no similar fish in L-catalogs(with pictures) as pleco number 1. Of course there is color/pattern variation but I wouldn't say it's the same L-number.

Pleco ID

Not my fish. These species are not familiar to me. Ancistomus? L147 seems quite close, but I wouldn't be sure. In my opinion this one has nicer coloration and more contrast than L147. These ind. were all sold as Para Pleco. Pleco 1. https://scontent-arn2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/16143167_102118980892...

Re: Blue eye Panaque water temp

I wouldn't consider it either, but i would like to put it to same tank with other plecos and nowadays I have discus too.

Here are blue eye and discus in same tank although it isn't probably the best comparison and ideal living conditions.

Hi, Is it safe to keep blue eye panaque in +31 celsius water? Most plecos are from Brazil Amazon basin and used to high temps but blue eye is from Colombia or Venezuela. I do know that most fish tolerate higher temps than recommended if oxygen saturation is at "max". Which makes me think t...
