What are this litle guys ?

Post by GuffyValentine »

So I don’t know anything about aquariums but these guys look cool can anyone help me identify them. I bought a house a few months ago the old owner left a 55 or 75 gal aquarium it had some fish so my wife from time to time would feed them but yesterday I was looking at it and it had these beautiful things can anyone help me identify them, I asked in Reddit/Aquariums people there seem to think they are L134 what do you guys think?.

Hi GuffyValentine,

Really neat discovery in your tank. I don't think these are L134 (Peckoltia compta). Rather, I think you have one of the species of black striped Hypancistrus, maybe (but don't hold me to it) , or a similar species.

Good luck with them.

Cheers, Eric

Unusual story, a first on my memory :) Thank you for sharing. What's your plan for the fish and tanks, if any? Would you like to pick up fish keeping as a hobby or you think you'll get rid of them?

My mind is blown away by the amount of information about fish and fishkeeping I think I found a new hobby :D. the aquarium also had some corydoras and that is another entire world I love it. Going to take it slowly but I can see now why people get into fish keeping.
