L129 or L204 ?

Post by kiwidu21 »

Hello,

I just bought 3 L129s and on one of them, the seller told me he was hesitating between L129 and L204 (his supplier sold him as an L129).
What do you think?
They measure 4 cm, is it too young for an identification?

First the two L129:

And finally the supposed L204:

Bottom looks like a clown pleco, or , although the eyes look big for a clown. Do you have more pics?

Cheers, Eric

Side pictures would be best..... but all look like L129's to me.

Thank you for your answers.
I'm taking other photos as soon as I see it (they just arrived so I wouldn't want to stress them out by catching them).

Hi,
