Hello Brian,
At roughly what size did they start spawning (assuming you got them when they were still young). I have currently 12 of these little buggers myself (along with 15 L400)
Thanks

Hey, those plecs look gorgeous!

telling L399 and L400 apart seems pretty tough to me.

Markus, could u provide some pictures of both your plecs? I would really appreciate that. Thanks.

Hi Markus,
My original pair were wild caught adults but some of there F1 young which are now around 2 and a half years old are showing signs of breeding still no eggs yet though! so i am guessing like most hypancistrus it will be around 3 years + around 5/6 inch

L399 are suppose to have the more slightly and more elongate bodyshape and the caudal fin is usually more forked too
