I agree with Ena! But after watching these two pics I would say that it is a Panaque nigrolineatus.

Yes, but there are many different "kinds" of "Panaque nigrolineatus"! The question is: "what kind"?

Hey Toni,

it is a L190, Royal Pleco. Here is the link to your fish in the Cat-eLog:

The color pattern looks more like that of L191 than L190.

hi i dont think thats an L191 cuz L191 has a higher hump and Has different pattern and color. It might be an L27 or an L27b "tapahos"
Too many gorgeous loricariids
So hard to obtain! Grrr....

To my opinion it is still a L190. L191 hasn't got red eyes and L27 has thinner stripes.

What characterisitic are you guys using to make these ids? I'm not sure becuase I can't clearly see its tail?

toniwang, can you take another profile shot but so the tail fin is clearly shown?

L191 (or at least all those I have seen up to this point) have dull eyes rather than the bright red displayed on this fish.

Nope. What you said was "L191 hasn't got red eyes" - they could be blue given that statement, hence my clarification that the eyes should be dull in L191.

Maybe just a matter of semantics. :-)

Hey Jools,

the word dull hasn't been existing in my vocabulary until I read your post. It is not always easy for me to put into words what I am thinking. I live in Austria and we speak GERMAN here. :wink:

I thought it can be in no way L191, L27A/L330, L27C, L190.

Certainly not by effective, official classification.

In Japanese many web, their many fish do not use L-number.

You may in under Japan web, see many is similar your fish the picture.
