L134

Post by hydrapleco »

Are there different types of L134 I've seen so many different looking L134. Is there a white and a yellow?

No such thing as different types of L134. Its L134 or its not.

to put it bluntly :-p

L134 are extremely variable in pattern and colour ranging from an off white to a pastel yellow with every shape of spot imaginable.
I can stop keeping catfish whenever I want. I just don't think I'll ever want to do that...

Much of the variation in the intensity of their normal yellow color is due to their distress colors because they have been moved into photo tanks for better control over the fish by the photographer. Photoshop works well to artificially restore their usual looks.
I agree that their patterns may vary infinitely but I can't say the same for their usual colors among fish which are healthy and not frightened.
