I just found out that my L 264 has a max size of only 10cm. Is this true?

Thanks
Angel

Naw, you have lots of growth left from this one. I saw one that must have been close to 20cm in a pet store in Halifax Nova Scotia (Canada), though I wouldn't think normally it would go much over 15cm. I would persoanlly love to pick one of these guys up, but can't find any around here. I'll be taking a trip towards Halifax next month, hopefully then I'll find some goodies

I see them all the time in the 6"+ range for sale here in MN and I've heard from a club member his is close to 8".

When I first read that there max size was 10cm, I didn't beleive it. Thats why I double checked here. Thanks all.

We have sold L264 cats around 6inches in size but they are usually smaller. Bigger specimens may actually be Pseudoacanthicus Spinossus. They are easy to mistake at a glance. A lovely cat all the same

Bear in mind all sizes on Planet are SL unless stated otherwise. 6" = 15cm, which if you take off the tail could be ~ 10cm SL! I seem to remeber they spawn at between 15-17cm, but I couldn't tell you if this is SL or TL.

Hi,

between 15-17cm, but I couldn't tell you if this is SL or TL.

Sprenger and Seidel don't tell in their breeding article explicitly if it is SL or TL, so i guess its TL. According to them Leporacanthicus joselimaianus grows like L. heterodon to a total length of about 20cm.

what does SL and TL mean?

SL (Standard Length) refers to the distance from the tip of the snout to the base of the caudal fin (tail).
FL (Fork Length) refers to the distance between the tip of the snout and the fork in the tail.
TL (Total Length) is the total length of the fish, from snout to the tip of the tail.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
but normally You donÂ´t count caudal filaments to the TL. (e.g. Loricaria simillima, ...)
