Is this a L125?

Post by quatermass »

Can some kind person help id this fish?

UDA shop in Cuper, UK had these Plecos in stock last week.
They claim they are "Big-Spot Plecostomus L125 (BristleNose) Hypostomus spp." £6.99

But the picture on their label didn't look the fish in the tank!

Planetcatfish doesn't appear to have a picture of the L125.
So if this is one. Then they're quite welcome to use this photo in their site.

Stuart, your fish is
Glyptoperichthys joselimaianus


You can tell it's Glyptoperichthys with the number of dorsal rays... It should be 7 for a Ancistrus...

Many thanks for that MatsP!

I'll sent them an email to correct their mistake.
