L-052 ?

Post by flyinmike »

Am I correct in identifying this one as an L-052? I've seen his color pattern go from whats pictured to almost black and white. I wish I had a good side shot. He has a real flat wide body. TL=4" 8)

Sorry, I haven't figured out yet how to make the picture appear in the post. all I get is a white box with an x in it. :(

Rusty edit: Here is the picture

Me too. Could someone please either explain it or point me towards an explanation ? Or is it impossible to make the pictures appear, if you post them at Corydorasworld ?

It's not just Corydorasworld. I've tried them from Fishgeeks also.

The trick is to use the url which refers only to the picture (and not the whole gallery webpage). So, if you right-click and choose "open image in a new window" (this depends on the browser you use, but it is my understanding that most browsers have this feature), and then use the url of the image appearing in the new window in your post, you've pretty much got it.

You can also right click over the picture and choose "properties". The address displayed there is the actual address of the picture itself. Then you just place img tags such as [img]Your%20picture%20url%20here%20with%20no%20spaces[/img]

and preview :) Presto, there's the picture! :D

Hi!

I have a little doubt about the ID.
I agree it shall belong to the same genus as L52
The body pattern is very different but possibly due to the fact it is rather a young fish
Shane have you witness great variation among L52s?
Cheers
