Please help me ID these

Post by Phoenix »

Hello,

I've got 2 L-numbers of which i don't know its name and number for certain so my question is if anyone here can help me ID them. They were sold to me as "Zonancistrus"

At the time the pictures were made they were not so very long in the tank so they are a bit darker than they are now.

I will take some new pics when i find the time :)

Greetings,

I can't find a picture of the LDA084 but the L265 looks very similar to mine indeed. Does anyone have a picture of the LDA084 so that i can make it a 100% sure ID?
Thanks for the info so far you've been very helpful indeed.

I have pictures but they are looking the same as these in the Cat-eLog.

They differ in colour depending on mood, food and water quality and can be brighter or darker.
