Hi all, Im new to this forum and would love to hear your suggestions on the identity of this fellow that the fish shop was selling as L046
I think it may be L168 but it never changes colour and is whiter than most Ive seen.
In the Aqualog book on L numbers it looks like a fish described as 'new xingu zebra' at the back but has no other details. I would love to know if he's a carnivore or a veggie so I can make sure he's getting fed properly.
It's L134 Peckoltia and need a mixed diet of both veggies and meaty foods but not to heavy like bloodworms, cyclops, brine shrimp and some sinking wafers are good food for these little fellows.
Thanks a bunch guys! have updated my sig already!
It was actually €40 which is an excellent price for a rarer type Plec here in Ireland, and Ive been looking for a 46 for ages but am much happier with a Omnivore!!
they are usually a yellowish base coloration
Could the fish you take for a L134 a Dekeyseria (Zonancistrus ) pulcher ,they are similar looking and have a rather whiter colouration
Cheers
Yann
