Re: L399
Part of the reason there is so much confusion about the Hypancistrus and collection locales and specific species is that drastic variability amongst fry from single spawns. It's a very pretty fish!

Re: L399
I could not agree more Barbie After seeing the variations from the 2 spawns i have had so far i would have to agree with what was said in Amazonas magazine " Hypancistrus sp. L287/L399/L400: These are three numbers for one and the same form, in my opinion. It is apparently a highly variable form. Although spotting is the most common pattern, there are specimens that have very broad lines or fine lines with plenty of open space. Intense captive breeding has revealed an enormous number of variations. Characteristics of coveted forms such as L173, L236, and L345 are among them. These L-numbers may be all morphs of the same form. L399 differs from L400 only slightly by a somewhat more delicate physique—L400 appears more robust".
