Saphire Pl*co?

Thunder · Post by **Thunder** » 22 Feb 2003, 23:34

I recently purchased a pl*co that was known as a Saphire Pl*co. It was designated as an L-151, but after checking the database here, it is definitely not the same fish. It is still rather small, but with a blue coloration. Any ideas folks on what I have?

We might have a better idea if you could provide a picture (or at least a more detailed description).

I wish I could give a picture, but I can't. I believe though, it might be a Blue Panaque. It has a dark blue and black coloration. It is hard to give a good description because there isn't a whole lot that is distinctive about it besides the blue coloration. I think it is an L-239, though. Anybody have any idea whether it is a carnivore, omnivore, or herbivore?

A picture say's a thousand words.

Thunder,
Look under the "blue Panaque" thread under Loricariidae for more information.
