Peckoltia Sp. ID Please

Post by bronzefry »

I found this "Peckoltia sp." at a LFS today. It was an import, supposedly a loner mixed in with Clown Peckoltias. I think this may be fright coloration:

(That's daphnia floating by, which he/she ate.)Total length is 3" from stem to stern. This is a 10 gal.quarantine tank. I put a piece of driftwood in the tank and off it went, into hiding. I looked in the Cat eLog, but I got more confused. Any help would be appreciated.

I'd agree and think it is the form shown best by Shane's picture here. I lumped that in with L147 for the time being.
