Rineloricaria sp. L010a ?

Post by Bristle nose »

I bought these as Rineloricaria sp. L010a, but after comparing them to photos in the cat-elog, i am not too sure. Mine have head markings, and arn't as bright red. Maybe LDA52, Rineloricaria cf. parva?

L010a is manmade and not all the offspring get unicoloured in red, some of them get more natural in colour...probably the same colouration as the original species.
