Help with ID L128?? and a few others

Post by tta850 »

Hi, hate to make my first post a what is my fish post but I finally got some half decent pics and hope you guys can tell me exactly what these are and if there is anything specific(as in species specific)I need to know about keeping them.

First one I belive is an L128(was sold as a blue spotted)about 3-3.5" long:

This second one we got that was listed as similar to L128 but I'm not sure what it is. Color looks to me more like L200 but havent seen an L200 with the whiskers so to speak??? he's about 7.5-8" long

This one was sold as a leopard? He tends to hide alot so I havent been able to get a really good pic.Probrobly 5" long
Image
This one was sold as a common, but am not sure exactly what that means in an L number? he's at about 5" right now.

And finally my royal(I belive), was only about 1.5" long and didnt make the day for some reason. I figure it was simply due to the fact we picked him up from the airport that day(from Columbia)and maybe just stressed? he was in my tank w/the L128 and water conditions seem fine? Picking up two more in about a week when they come in.

Thanks in advance, sorry for so many pics and questions.

Hi!

I agree with HH on the 2...

First one L128
Second L200: nice male by the way
Last (L190)

Cheers
