2-4.5" "LDA025a" (What is it really?)

Post by Potbellyrhino »

Heya folks,

I bought some LDA 025 on a "reputable" website. What i got were four of the fish below ranging in size from 2" to 4.5", i assume they were some sort of rubberlip but i'd really like to try and figure out which species they are exactly as four in a 40g B might be a bit much if they get to be much larger.

They are light brown
Range from 2" to 4.5" not full grown
Seem to be territorial (largest one chases the others out from his tree stump)
Like algae tabs and catfish pellets (Omnivorous?)
Not too shy

Any help in ID would be much appreciated =)

Looks like or (L445 may be the same species, C. joropo).

Cheers, Eric
