So would it still be classified as L095, a not as pretty one or is it L152?

The 418 is simply stunning!

Thank you for posting those, if someone has pictures of young L095 prior to maturity that would be great as well! Here is mine, sold to me as L095 at about 4" http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v629/eklikewhoa/plecos/IMG_20120709_203738.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v629/eklikewhoa/plecos/IMG ...

This is what I thought as well but I have been contacting everyone and anyone I find online that is or has kept both and was lucky to find a few that started with young L095 and they have informed me that some young L095 show only faint "orange" coloration in the tail/cheeks. It's understood that ...

After hours and hours of searching through google, countless forums, google images etc. I am even more confused about these two. Has anyone that has or is keeping both note some differences? -Does the L095 have the "orange cheek" as juveniles? -Does the spotted body/fins apply to both L152 and L095 ...

Wondering... what is the difference you see in the two L#? between the L152 and L095

Thanks for chiming in. I was hoping to find out if they were similar in variant.

Hopefully they breed soon cause the female is swollen and ready to go! With her size and belly swolleness she should put out quite a lot

I found that link you posted but none look like the female I have in question.

She is easily over an inch bigger than the listed size and body shape along with pattern does no match any pictures listed.

These were acquired separately.

The female came from a friend that raised them for several years, the male I traded two of her male kids for.

I posted a wtb for a male similar to size of her on another forum and was told she was not a normal bristlenose variant.

Thank you for pointing that out, I realize that too and went searching for a male her size.


Anyone have any idea what variant BN these are? I've never seen anything that are BN in this size.

I got a mammoth female and now just picked up a male for her but was told they are not of the common Bristlenose. If anyone can point me in the right direction in ID'ing them it would be greatly appreciated. Female is about 6" and male is a little about 5" Male http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v629 ...
