thanks

Thanks for your replies guys!

had these for 6 months or so and wondering if its a pair? what do you think?

i agree looks like a nice pair to me

hi jason,

im not sure on the age but they arnt too old, iv had them about 8-9 months and they we're around 6" originally, now both around 7". iv got 2 pairs but it was the biggest pair who spawned, the others are slightly smaller around 5.5-6" now. hope this helps

no but perhaps i should have, but i saw a few infertile eggs and was worried as they might spread fungus.. also he didnt seem to be fanning them much so i took them. next time il let him try as i found the eggs hard to hatch, i lost around 90% but with what i have left im very happy!

hey, recently my l91's spawned for the first time, i too struggled with the eggs and lost alot to fungus and shell hardening but iv managed to keep a few alive and now they are doing well. just starting to look like propper little l91's :) http://imageshack.us/a/img40/7055/l91fry.jpg http://imagesha...

brilliant thanks matt, awsome pictures too mate

not sure dont think so, i picked it up from a local keeper today. apparently it came into a lfs small and the owner grew it on before selling it to the lad i got it from. delighted if its a xingu, iv been after one of these for quite some time

pick this up today, we think its an L27 Tocantins. could anyone help confirm this?



its about 6"

thanks

hi, they are definatley L263. iv got a big pair of these and they have maxed out a around 7" but are really chunky. nice fish good luck with them!

come on guys i didnt mean any disrespect by it, i dont know whats gone on there but i was just bumping the thread up im sorry if iv offended anyone.

lol not the pony tail!??!! neil will lose all his power

awsome! fingers crossed for ya mate

il try to find out matt, not sure. iv got a l190 pretty much exactly the same size and its tail is totall differeent with an orange tips and rim, and white and clear markings on the tail. hope its not l190 been looking for l27 for ages lol

i cant stop looking at them!

hey birger,

the spots are metallic sky blue mostly (the odd few look white) but the main body of the fish is dark blue, almost black id say when settled and happy... but if disturbed or stressed it goes a slate blue colour.

best wishes,

andrew

done

yeah no problem mate, where do i send them to?

best wishes,

andrew

thanks andy. managed to get a couple more today just now. enjoy!

hey, i was lucky enough to pick up a group of these from Marina & George last weekend and i managed to get a couple of photo's of a male last night on my camera phone. the photo's dont really pick it up but the spots are metallic sky blue... beautiful! :P :D Pic 1: http://img718.imageshack.us/im...

great job man, WELL DONE!

wow looks like the same fish! is it yours?

got this about 4 or 5 months ago and she's grown quite a bit, i think female but im not sure on the l number... i know there is alot of miss info about 173 ect... anyone know what it could be? all 3 pics are of the same fish, from the top and both sides... whatever it is she's a stunner :love: thank...

cool well done mate,

what conditions are they in?

when you see it like that it looks a bit like some kind of papa panaque. i hope we get to the bottom of this, there's nothing worse than owning a fish and not knowing what it is... hurts my head! :lol: i bought them as p. cochliodon but mine we're later i'd on pf as p. sutto's.. now i dont know what...

i think it panaque suttoronum not cochliodon... A beautiful specimen of P. cochliodon . It is certainly not P. suttonorum , which has a white ring around the caudal peduncle and white fins as well. I do not have a copy of Galvis et al (Peces de Catatumbo) on hand, but something like 50% of the fish...
