Hi guys,

I just acquired five grown L-200. I think there is four Hemiancistrus subviridis and one Baryancistrus demantoides correct me if I'm wrong. My plan is to try to do a mini setup of one of Haavard's tanks. But it is taking me a bit longer that planed to get it together. Meanwhile i was hoping someone could help me trying to determine the sex of them isn't exactly easy for a noob.. So here they come:

No. 1

No. 2

No. 3

No. 4

No. 5


No. 1

No. 2

No. 3

No. 4

No. 5


I think No. 3 is the Baryancistrus demantoides



Sorry for picture spaming:) Any help is appreciated.

You are correct with fish no.3 being Baryancistrus demantoides. As for sexing them, they look a little too small as I can't see any differences, but that could mean they are all the same sex.

I'd say fish 1, 3 and 5 are male. Remainder is possibly female. However, none of the males show CLEAR signs of being male, I'm using head-size, head-shape and pectoral fin thickness.

And yes, #3 is B. demantoides.
