Hi,

I have 3 fish wich came in with the L66 last March. I haven't got a clue what species it is. I think it is a hypancistrus but I don't know for sure.

Here is a picture of the baby from last March:

Sorry for the condition it's in.......they share there tank with young L66 and there is plenty of food :oops:

Hi Jac,
Have you seen this post?

I know a lot of these guys look the same, but the shape and stress colourations look remarkably similar (too me at least) as my first set of pictures.

Geoff,
Your fish is a Peckoltia species and Jac's is a Hypancistrus species :wink:

The best choice is L270, first it come with L66 and second even if they are stress coloured the shape and pattern match L270 very well.

Thanks Janne,
I have very little experience with Hypancistrus species, and with Jac saying she wasn't quite sure if it was a Hypancistrus and with no photo of the teeth, I thought I would just "put it out there"... :)

Hi,

Today I made some new pictures of the same fish. Sadly one died but I still have two of them. Please confirm L270. Is it possible to see if it is male or female? I think one is male, starting to get odontodes growth on it's tail but the other I don't know.

I think this is a male:

This one I don't know. Maybe female??

Both of them:

Thanks in advance :thumbsup:
