Long fin L-183?

Post by tsin21 »

Is there really a long fin variety of L-183? I got this one at the fish store and is labeled as such.

If it's not a L-183, kindly help me identify it. It is still a juvenile and is around 3cm SL.
Apologies for the photos, these are what I managed to get since it is new in the tank and very skittish. I'll try to upload more soon.

Thanks!

Looks like the long-fin variety of the common BN pleco to me.

Morning

The pictures show the common longfin variety. Although there is a longfin A. dolichopterus as well, a hybrid form with the common A. sp.
