Bristlenose Plec????????

Post by grahamhannam »

I have what I can only describe as a veil-tail / fan-tail Bristlenose Plec.

Trying to get a picture of it is a nightmare, but I have never seen one like this before, nor had the pet store from which it was purchased. Does anyone have any ideas what exactly it is?

I will try to obtain a picture and post it as soon as I can persuade it to be helpful.

WOW!

A can of worms best avoided - looks like a very polarised debate.

Hello,

This one gets even worse than that. I just got a list claiming these fish to be LDA16. A quick search on the net found them at several businesses with the same listing. I assume that it is a single vendor selling under that classification and it is just being perpetuated by their customers. Make sure to check for a photo or identification before ordering LDA16.
