Hi all can anyone tell me the L number of this pleco please.

Hi Scragg,

I would say that's .

Have you recently bought the fish? It looks really nice.

Yes I bought I from wharf aquatics but could not remember the L number, many thanks

I was thinking it was based on that pic.

Beautiful fish! . Did you call Wharf to ask them the name they were selling it as?

Cheers, Eric

Yes I did but you got over 2 months ago and Richard could not remember

L142 does look very similar too, I always thought Baryancistrus had joined dorsal and adipose fins like the L200 'Hi-Fin', so I've learnt something new today!

Baryancistrus have a flap of skin between the last dorsal fin ray and the back, sometimes it touches the adipose, sometimes not, but the dorsal is never clear of the back.

Hi

thats L 142 for sure, much broader head and bigger dorsal fin than L 201.

Ahh thanks Jools makes sense, I assumed the flap always joined the dorsal and adipose fins, rather than joining the dorsal to the back.

Now I've looked at the pictures again I see it on L142 and Scraggs fish but not L201!

Thanks all love this site

Does l 201 have brown line on the tail ? I have young L 201 and they have not this line!

From looking at the pictures on this site, I don't see any L201 with a brown line on the tail. You may be thinking of ? They have darker edges to the dorsal and caudal fins.

I mean fish on this picture has got brown line on the tail and is not L 201 !

I see what you mean! I think that might be a reflection on the glass rather than on the fish.
