Hi,

Any tips on the L66 King Tiger Plec? There isnt much in the main site on this fish.

Much appreciated.

Just had another close look at the brown of the two.

the top fin isn't curved at the top it's straight, whereas the red one is hooked at the top. Does this indicate anything different to what has already been said?

thanks greatly - much appreciated. If they spawn I'll post pics.

Hi, Found some info: http://www.planetcatfish.com/shanesworld/s_r_273.php http://www.scotcat.com/articles/article8.html I also saw this. Looks like my fish?? Sturisomatichthys leightoni "They were absolutely beautiful, they looked like tiny versions of the Royal Farlowella, Sturisoma panamense" http ...

If you have anything in german I'd be interested. Feel free to e-mail it to me if that would be at all possible?

Hi,

are there any sites with information on breeding this species?

Norman wrote:Hi Jon,

So you can originate that the reddy coloured is a male an the other is a female. Good luck for breeding.

Norman

just had a close look and the reddy coloured one has small odontodes and the brown one doesn't.

Thanks. So possibly Brown is male red is female?

Cool

I'm a little new to some of the terms. What are odontodes?

Anything I'd need to do to make them breed?

This fish has very well full-blown odontodes at the head-sides

sorry I meant in my two fish - any way to tell what sex they are?

Why are they different colours? You mention they may come from different regions - where about would that be?

Any info would be great.

cheers.

So any ideas on how to tell the sex?

They guy at the shop said one was definetly panamense, could be wrong though.

This are quite a few pics on the main site. You saying these are actually of festivum?



[mod edit: Images removed, as the images linked are no longer what the original poster meant --Mats]

I've taken a few more shots.

First is of my LDA33 and the two whiptails. (One of which is Sturisoma Panamense)



Better picture of his fin.



and the Sturisoma Panamense

Hi, Bought a couple of whiptails. Sold as Sturisoma panamense Sturisoma panamense One definetly is. The other one is slightly bigger and is a reddy colour (See picture) Sorry about the quality. Hope it gives enough indication. Any ideas what it is? http://www.playpool.co.uk/rs/whip.jpg Could it be ...

thought it must be something high like that. Obviously other things like equipment will be much lower.

Thanks

Just really interested what sort of margins a LFS would make on goods?

I guess different on different things i.e Fish, Dry Goods, Food etc

Anyone know?

I think it's the perspective of the shot. He's around 10cm ish I think. No problem anyhow. It's not like I'm going to bread it or anything

Finally got my digital camera back so I could take some pictures of my new LDA33. Very pleased with Him/her? He loves courgette (zucchini). I had fun asking all the supermarkets in the UK for Zucchini. Luckily someone in Sainbury's knew it was the American word for Courgette! Can anyone identify if ...

cheers.

So the flash is ok to use then? I wasn't sure. Is it better to have the house lights on? Should I have the tank lights on or off?

What's the first plec? Looks similar to my LDA33 I'm trying to photgraph

Many thanks.

I'll read that thread too, much appreciated.

Hi,

Been trying to get some goods photos of my new LDA33. Whats the best way - any tips?

Thanks. I don't think I'll have any problems as I ordered an "LDA33" not by it's common name.

Going to call them up and confirm the scientific name with them 100%

Sorry I meant how can I check I'm not getting a Snowball Plec (L102) rather than the LDA33/L142 Big White spot I ordered.

I've had a long read through some older threads on here.

How can I tell I'm definetly getting an LDA33 and not a snowball plec or one of the other similar ones?

Hi There, I've justed ordered an LDA33 which I was told was a "Snowball Plec" I ordered it by the number so if the common name is wrong it shouldn't make a huge difference. I noticed browsing this site hat LDA33 is the same as L142 which are refered to as "Big White Spot" plec I also noticed L102 is ...
