The first are papa plecos L90
The other fish is glyptoptericthys punctatus juv
A pig when it grows up ..
The L 90 are taken away from the parents as eggs then they are
hatched in installations like acanthicus adonis

Sojapat,

How are you telling L203 apart from L090 on the above pics? They could be L090, just not sure what tells them apart.

As Silurus pointed out, the little pleco is <em>Pterygoplichthys punctatus</em>, which is the correct name for the little pleco, not Glyptopterichthys - but that's splitting hairs as that whole group of fish have been in something of a flux.

So is it confirmed that adonis is captive bred? I wonder since there are quite a few albinos around in the more recent times.

About adonis: how large would it eventually get, does it lose all white spots as adult, and are they also found in stillwater muddy pool as well as in rivers?

IIRC, the eggs are collected and hatched rather than it actually captive bred. That however was accomplished in a public aquarium and some of the young from that spawn are pictured in the cat-elog.
