1 MorganFg since 2020-02-29 to 2025-05-01, that's 5 years, 2 months; who writes, "L449 is a very special Hypostomus, and there are very few records about it. I have had the privilege of raising this breed from Colombia, and its body color changes greatly in different environments. For example, when I raised it in the first tank, its body color was green. In the second tank, due to the many yellow and gray rocks at the bottom, its body color turned yellow, Later on, as he grew up, his body color turned brown again, but he still maintained a dotted pattern.Regarding habits, even if there are no fish in the environment that can pose a threat to him, L449 seems to be more inclined to hide in wood and is not a breed that likes to stay in open areas for long periods of time. In terms of feeding, he can accept most of the artificial feed.The maximum size of L449 is about 300mm. I started raising this 140mm L449 four years ago. In the first three years, it grew to 250mm, but in the last year, it only grew 20mm. I feel like it's almost reaching its limit size"
