Is this L177?

Post by K@trine »

I just hate common names, but the lady in the petstore where i bought this 2 days ago didn't know the scientific name on this fish, all she said was "it's a gold nugget". Since the fish was wonderfull, i decided to buy it anyhow, thinking it would be easy to find a better identification. Then it turns out there a 3 different "gold nuggets"... I think it looks like a L177, since it has rather large dots. It's aprox 12cm, 15 with it's tail (that's 5''-6'').
Am i correct? what do you guys think?

To get gravel up the walls is fairly easy. All you need is some silicone. The real challenge is to get the plants to grow horizontally :D

I have just one myself approximately 5 years old.Still looking for more just as lovely.

Sometimes referred to as queen golden nugget,i much prefer them to L18/81.
