The two larger ones seem to differ a lot already in pattern, do they tend to lose their pattern/stripes as they get larger? Can you tell the difference between these and L191?
Is the long term plan to keep them together and see if they'll breed?

I'll cross my fingers.....sure I hope that they will breed. Indeed they lose their pattern
The L191 has broken lines when young, the L418 has lines like the L190 and the tailfin is different.
this is an adult L418

Rob,
I absolutely LOVE all of your pictures, but this one makes me laugh every time I see it, as the Panaque's sawdust is so obvious! I'm setting up a new tank for a L190 & my boyfriend wasn't sure why I was adding SO much driftwood until I showed him these 2 pictures together (he's more of a dog guy than fish)... and suddenly he understood : ) Gotta give them SOMETHING to chew on
Thanks for giving us such a detailed tour of you monsters! You're a dangerous inspiration

The new tank (1.80 x 80 x 60) is ready. I have a 50cm long LED tube installed today. The pump is a Kinshi 3500ltr.
