Did you know fantastic help is an anagram of Planet Catfish? This forum is for those of you with pictures of your catfish who are looking for help identifying them. There are many here to help and a firm ID is the first step towards keeping your catfish in the best conditions.
I bought 5 fish as wild L-201. The seller selected the ones with the argest spots. I am better at fishkeeping than picture taking. If these pics are insufficient, I may have a few others my brother shot but has not given me yet.
The fish are in the range of 3-3.5 inch TL and there have been 3 or 4 spawns- all over the past few months.

Thanks- I wasn't sure and my ID skills are sorely lacking.

Just curious as to if there has been an L number assigned to this fish?

I believe they were L201 before being described. However there are alledgedly 2 or 3 different types of L201, maybe someone who knows more than I do could expound on this topic?
Well, H. contradens is one species that is described, and looks very much like the L201 - it has, however, different dentition (teeth). So we are still waiting for the "official" L201 to be described.
Scratch another notch on your gun. Congrats. I have 7 juvenile F1 growing up for the future. Apparently these L201 are one of the easier Hypancistrus spp to breed.
