L-007?


L-240?


Or the same?

Is the colour difference there in the real fish or just in the photo?

If they are really that different, I wouldn't keep them together for breeding purposes, but I can't say that they are definitely different species either.

Unless the first picture has a very strange perspective I don't think those two are the same. With the first one I'm not even sure whether this is a Leporacanthicus. The dorsoventral compression is too strong, imho.

The first looks very much like a Leporacanthicus when it comes to the mouth tho', so it's probably a bit of odd perspective involved there.

The second fish looks like it COULD be , but I don't think it actually is.

They are a bit different in color, and of course they will not go together, just youngsters yet

PS: I`l take some better picks to post.

They are both Leporacanthicus for sure. Look at the horn on the top/back of the head.
When it comes to the exact L-number I am unsure. I had a close look at them in the shop where they were labelled as L240.
I believe the exact number of the fish will be easier to see in a year, when they have grown some more. When I studied them in the shop I was thinking L007, but now I believe they are all L240s.

it also looks just like my L240 vampires..

Here a picture of my L240 Vampire..

Your the expert Haavard Post some more picks, just have to relax with a beer first. LOL

I`m crappy on taking picks today (no editing done to picks, all taken with flash)

Very nice L240s. I am sorry I told you that they looked like L007s a month ago. As they all are from the same batch from the shop there could be L241s too in there. How many did you buy?

I have 8 Haavard, damn nice fish Not your fault

Your the L man , and I`l take care of the coryes:-)

Sure! Just let us trade, and everything is fine

To everyone else reading this... I just traded 4 of Birgers L240s to 1 L046 pair.

Some of these are L241 and some are L240!

They can cross breed so keep the separate!

Wise words!!

And we know it:-) Haavard wil have a pick of the one he wants
