tnx all :) The apisto is not a very rare one, but nice it is indeed :D

@ Dutchfry, tnx... i do have some current in the tank :) the nugget seems to like the tank and its interior, hes got a nice full belly and comes every evening to the front to claim his food. The Pterophyllum sp. like the current ...

Tnx wrasse :-BD and yes you got that right, this kind of fish need also a little bit of time before the color and shape turns into a nice proportion.
Couples are hard to select, sex young fish is impossible by this species, thats why buying a group is best, the bigger the group (sure the tank has to ...

Haha Tnx Haakon!! took a long time to think... but in the end it became a tank without plants and only wood (ive got some floating plants only..) where i could hold my catfish in, whatever species i like without watching them eat plants lol, like the L200... Youre welcome anytime b-) only a bit of a ...

Yo.. here some pictures and info about my display tank in the livingroom..
size of the tank is 190cm long, 95 cm depth and 80 cm hight ^:)^ its a south america tank with no plants and some sucky sucky fish in it :YMDEVIL:

Filtration is through a sump, 200 litres with a 3000 litres/hour pomp and ...

Thats also where my thoughts go to.. i see u have L333 aswell? have u compared them?
i think also 450 size matches aswell

Aphanotorulus

based on the lower caudal fin lobe not being significantly longer than the upper.

agreed, i looked really quick @ the head and its shape and the eye`s ;) beautifull fish it is for sure

also a possibility for L400 and i gues it is L450... just compare it, i understand everybody wants to put in under the L333 genus, but look a little bit further and think logically... L333 can reach 14-15 cm... this is half of it an already an almost full grown fish ;) on this size they have been ...

I have the black & white from the Xingu River myself. Too bad nobody looks further than the L333, on what u think its the L333 further? What point u ID the fish @?
I mean, first look @ the size of the fish, there approx. 7 cm and may grow 1 or 2 cm maximum, i know that because the old owner had some ...

shape of the head is pretty similar to the Aphanotorulus ammophilus wich i own myself.. so maybe its an option to look in the Aphanotorulus genus for you?
hope it helped you, compare the heads and the shape to each other, they look pretty similar

Hi Zeno,

tnx again for the reply :) it do looks a little bit like the 333, but difference is the shape and also this male`s have (even bigger) odontes as the female`s (one on the picture is a female) wich my L333 in my showtank dont have (9cm.. so smaller as this ones).. still i dont think its the ...

Hello im Frank :) im from holland and i have 3 tanks here.. a south america tank (1440 litres) a community tank (120 litres) and a breeding tank (180 liters).
Ive been reading for a long time here and had a questing about what L-number i really have.. posted it already :)

this Lnumbers are in my ...

this species aint no L333 for sure!! Maybe more like L450/L400/L287... Although L173b is a diferent fish then the L333 and the L450 ;)

Hey Zeno, i know.. same as some other species but what is it then? L450? L287? these fish are about 4-7 years old and dont grow anymore.

@ Unungy, i know for sure that it aint no L333! Like i said in the start post, i have a very nice group of L333 myself wich are this size and bigger, of i compare ...

I really wanna know what species i bought, ik have some picture`s of the fish and im guessing it is one of the species in the topic title.
I bought 9 of them, 8 adult`s and 1 juvenile, adults measuring about 7-8 cm TL and are very diferent build then species like L333 wich i own aswell ( different ...
