Hi all, Im new to this forum and would love to hear your suggestions on the identity of this fellow that the fish shop was selling as L046
I think it may be L168 but it never changes colour and is whiter than most Ive seen.
In the Aqualog book on L numbers it looks like a fish described as 'new xingu zebra' at the back but has no other details. I would love to know if he's a carnivore or a veggie so I can make sure he's getting fed properly.

Thanks,

Ken

I think these are more likely to be juvenile L052.

It's L134 Peckoltia and need a mixed diet of both veggies and meaty foods but not to heavy like bloodworms, cyclops, brine shrimp and some sinking wafers are good food for these little fellows.

I too feel it is a L134.

hope you didn't pay L046 prices. L134 sell for about £12-£14

Thanks a bunch guys! have updated my sig already!
It was actually €40 which is an excellent price for a rarer type Plec here in Ireland, and Ive been looking for a 46 for ages but am much happier with a Omnivore!!

Definately not a L046, agree its more like L134.

Does L134 get yellower over time? mine is about 1 1/2 inches but is very white/brown...

definitely a L134.. there are plenty of different patterns for the 134.. some are very very beautiful adn unique

Hi Ken!

they are usually a yellowish base coloration
Could the fish you take for a L134 a Dekeyseria (Zonancistrus ) pulcher ,they are similar looking and have a rather whiter colouration
Cheers
