Re: Please ID what looks like a Snakeskin body
Thank you again racoll, Mats & everyone else. I get the point & IDea. Pun intended... She is fun to watch. She's a fast one to when she gets spooked & takes off for inside the castle. Stirs up the whole tank with that long tail of hers. It's funny to see her lay side by side with the smallest fish ...

Re: Please ID what looks like a Snakeskin body
OK I am posting these pictures again for those who have requested it. These ARE of the same fish whether everyone wants to believe me or not matters not to me & is not the point. All I am looking for is help ID'ing this fish. These pictures where taken back in June when I originally got the fish. I ...

Re: Please ID what looks like a Snakeskin body

Re: Please ID what looks like a Snakeskin body
He doesn't know that his fish came from the Rio Tapajos, just that L131 does! Of course I DON'T KNOW anything. I never said I did. I said as far as I knew, & my best guess also was that she came from Rio Tapajos, because of the fact that she was sold to the lfs as a Tapajos Pl*co & that's what I ...

Re: Please ID what looks like a Snakeskin body
If we knew (and was 100% sure of) exactly where your LFS got their fish from, what name it was bought under, exactly where it came from, etc, then we wouldn't be having this discussion, would we? And whilst your LFS may well have honestly thought the fish was from Tapajos, it doesn't mean that ...

Re: Please ID what looks like a Snakeskin body
I would repost the picture of the fish when it was younger - it might help the ID. Thanx, I would but when I had just 1 picture posted of when she was younger & I had 1st got her, even though I had the date on it that it was taken, for some reason everyone thought they knew better then me what the ...

Re: Please ID what looks like a Snakeskin body
Raz' above fish (at least the third sp shown in the pics) is in fact H. plecostomus . They still turn up as bycatch in shipments from the llanos. They are never exported on purpose to my knowledge. Why don't you believe me when I keep telling you the pictures are of only 1 fish??? Just because they ...

Re: Please ID what looks like a Snakeskin body
What I meant by "not expensive" is that the "common" Hypostomus species are not expensive compared to similar size fish of more exotic types. But the Hypostomus is still a wild-caught fish, so it's not going to be priced like a common pl*co that has been farm-raised - they are litterally pennies ...

Re: Please ID what looks like a Snakeskin body
Your fish (either of the three previously posted) is not Squaliforma sp(l131) Are you trolling? I'm sorry if I still haven't managed to make it clear but these pictures are of only 1 fish. I put in the comments under the pictures when they were take. Now it doesn't matter because I deleted the ...

Re: Please ID what looks like a Snakeskin body
I don't know what kind of fish that is but…man…that purple and black gravel…I don't know what to say! Is that good or bad??? I have a big Castle, that has 2 large halves, in the center of the tank, with a 1" round air stone in each halves tower. This is what it looks like. Sorry the picture isn't cl ...

Re: Please ID what looks like a Snakeskin body
Yes this is all the same fish. I only have 1 of this fish & these pictures are all of the same fish. I got it when it when it was less then 3". The 1st picture of the head was from when she was smaller in June. Then the ones below it are the most recent. Originally when I got her I thought she was a ...

Please ID what looks like a Snakeskin body
She's about 6"+ now & her looks have changed since I have 1st got her. She has a very broad head & very beautiful long tail. I haven't been able to narrow down the L number though. I've bounced between a few but then she changed when she got bigger. The closest I've come to is the L-131 She appears ...

Re: syno on ebay
I just noticed this & I think it's very similar to my Featherfin Syno A.K.A. Synodontis euptera.
I know the top fin isn't exact but the head, body & eyes are. Mine is also about 6" now.

Re: Help to Identify this pl*co
Kewl someone saved me the trouble already. I just bought 4 of these yesterday. They were sold to me as Imperial Pleco's which I knew they weren't but I still loved them & had to have them. Two of them are blacker & 2 are more yellow but they look just like the pics there with the even lines going ...
