I would think its a miscolored sterba, but i am no expert on corys. i am no expert on anything lol

To me, she looks fat but not full of eggs. If you flashlight her belly, can you see eggs?

The male will tend to bite the females fin back there to try to get her to know he is ready, but usually after a bite and no interest, males would let go.. Maybe he is just a jerk?

GL

If you put black/blood worms in the tank, it will be out at anytime of day. They go apeshit for them (Sorry mods if i cannot say that word.) They will gorge themselves on them until they look like they will explode. In the past, mine always took just about any foods, live, frozen or dry. I am not su...

I know some about the trachy trachy and quite a bit about jaguars (assuming the L. ori's ), but nothing about the other 3 other than they are longer slender fish (or atleast juru's are)

Autocorrect?

@Viktor Jarikov , would you have any input?

IDK, to me, the OPers fish's eyes look different. They look bigger and less buldgy than amiidae's. I am by no means an expert, nor know really anything about these, just stating what i see. I also dont see the barbel in the OP's picture on the side that is darker on amiidae's either. just my 2 cents...

i thought the LF was long fin in your title. good luck finding them!

I would almost say the 20L is your best option. They could be fine in either of the tanks you currently have, but you also risk them getting picked on. The 20L option has the least risk for your little synos.

make sure to increase the air in the tank/high flow. This will make it so he should be fine. I had a temp spike in a tank that i didn't realize for almost a month, they were in the mid 90s. I had 4 BN and a bunch of tetras in the tank.

I am with martin on the suggestion, though it could be an unde..

It could be.

OP'er .. hurry with the pictures so we don't keep finding more fish it could be.

I think it could be a very very small aquatic llama.

I am pretty sure it isn't . THere are 0 hues of red in the tail in the picture, and from the ones i have kept in the past, the red coloration was very very clear.

It could possibly be an un-described species, but as Martin has said, more pictures will help.

How sure are you that it is in fact an ancistrus? to me it looks like it COULD be a

IMO, too many fish, and a chance for hybrids.

and for being a super rare pleco over there, i know when I am in NZ and buying my plecos, i am not going to buy based off internet pictures. To shell out the money on something that isn't common and expensive and not see it first is not a great idea.

Yes, technically they can crossbreed with L134 and any other Peckoltia

did you pay more then normal L91?

If the lios can catch it, it will attempt to eat it.

P. lurjani, easy to breed if you have 2. my male always backed into his cave rather than going head first. They aren't extremely colored, but a fun fish to have. Enjoy your little one!

Well I am strictly sticking to the stocking question part of this discussion.. LOL.. I think if you are looking for color/schooling.. i would go with a decent school of red and blue columbian tetras.. I loved my school when i had my 125.. they got big (3" TL?) and were super blue and red. Not s...

No, they are not as common as the standard and the albinos, and i do agree they are cooler. They look amazing with longfins as well.

any chance for pictures of the tank? I like to be inspired by the tank. I would give suggestions after seeing

I'm more curious with soo many similar species if all the fish received are the same, or if maybe you have 2-3 of those species listed above.

i like the hemi alot.. such a neat fish with HUGE eyes!

Oh it existed, but only in that one fish

It does make me wonder if the more we breed plecos, if other groups will get the "non-red eye" version bred like cirrhosus? Albino blue eyed L201

L144 will not be the fish they have. From what i understand the true L144 was rarely exported. All of the fish that are seen in the hobby tend to be the "blue eyed" cirrhosus.

someone correct me if i am wrong.

- they are pretty common, but less common than the regulars, albino, etc.

Carolus, look where the poster is from, what is common for Europe and N.A. is not the same as Brazil, for all we know his friend went out to some unknown little river and netted these himself.

you've done bristlenose, so i assume the common bristlenose. Without having the panaqolus destroying your wood and filling your tank with poop, have you considered any of the black ancistrus with white spots? (L180-184?) They would keep the wood clean, and the glass, not poop as much, are beautiful,...
