They both are very beautiful.
What is the price of them? As it's already sold out and not price was shown.

these are pics of 236 that a seller is giving me what do yall think thanks Will http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z237/danumber1stunnar/L2361.jpg http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z237/danumber1stunnar/L236_bb1.jpg The first one is MY fish....and it's imported as 236 but I m still looking for ...

IMO, it's just maturity that causes the change in pattern. Young L260 like the one in my avatar have very broad stripes and not many of them, but as they grow and have more fish to cover with the same pattern, it makes the pattern look less distinct. It's still stripes with close to the same width ...

Dear all, Does anyone know how to keep Hypancistrus sp. so as to prevent strips dispersing and the background white colour sharper? Please share :D Here are my Hypan. Most of them have this kind of problem. So i wonder if there were some factors, for example pH of water, tank mate, no. of pleco ...

Pleco 1. http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Greatshorty/IMG_2238.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Greatshorty/IMG_2240.jpg Pleco 2. http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Greatshorty/IMG_2222.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Greatshorty/IMG_2206.jpg Pleco 3. http://i70 ...

Does anyone use bamboo shape active carbon as cave for pleco?
If so, how long can it be used until it's required for replacement?

They look like 66 to me. Are they settled down right now? update the pics for further reference may be helpful.

Well, I think that Janne is as close an expert as you'll get, and if he asks you why you think it's NOT L173, then I have to ask the same thing, as that's the one I'd say it is, and from inference, it seems like Janne thinks so too. But if you have some information that means that L173 is ruled out ...

MatsP wrote:These are the same as in This thread, right?

If so, is there any particular reason you think they are not L173?

I don't think they are L236, as they are "too white".

I have no idea Mats, what do you think?

Still struggling in telling who are they!!! Comment please!!! http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Greatshorty/IMG_1951.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Greatshorty/IMG_1935.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Greatshorty/IMG_1944.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105 ...

I have been looking at the pictures of 262 and it's not quite the same but it's not like 260 either...so I wonder it's a kinda "mixed" or somehow a "new species"

But, imho this looks very much like a hybrid Hypancistrus.

Um...yes, it's some kinda Hypancistrus...it's sold as L260 (it's mixed together with others L260 for sale) and hope this info helps!!!
So anyone can identify this fellow?

Add another close up:

The top one is about 2 inches including tail and the second is about 1.5.
So what will they most probably be?

Hi Those are pretty much 236s... So sure? How can you tell? Is there any characteristic to tell? :D every time the same thing . A picture of a beautiful Catfish==> and 2 user calls loud "its L236 its L236" :lol: :lol: lg Udo Um....I m not sure they are all 236 or not...but there's one at least ...

And why is't not L173? The pattern is very nice but the colour of the eyes is wrong for L46, my opinion is that it's L173.

Hi they come from the same River which River ? its looks like this one http://www.cattleya.ch/welse/l400b2.jpg you call them L236 oder L173 or L287 i call them just L400 :wink: i will give you a clue!!! your L287 at Aquabid and your Homepage are NOT L287 :wink: Greatings Udo I think they are not ...

This was sold as "236" but not sure and some said it's either 174 or 400...here is the close up of it's head http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Greatshorty/IMG_1709.jpg Whole body: http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Greatshorty/IMG_1708.jpg Here is another one sold as zebra variant, again ...

It was sold as 173 but its pattern is special. it's definitely not a 134, haha..i hope its a 236...

I found this one is special...it really looks like a real zebra!!!

Head shot:

Whole body:

Janne wrote:Yes, L173 have bigger eyes then L174, and yes their colours differ too...L173 is a black and white species when L174 is grey and black.

Janne

so jane, u think mine is 174 / 400?

Barbie, I will update my location, thanks!!!

Jon wrote:Eye size seems to dictate 174, but I'm not 100% on that.

So 173 do have larger eyes or what? and 174 has smaller or they have different colouration as well?

I think those are L173 as per pictures in Aqualog. L173 on this site is synonymous to Hypancistrus zebra , which is NOT the case in Aqualog, and I beleive the latter is "more correct". -- Mats Thx Mats, in fact, I still have many ? about 173, 174, 98, 236 things like this....can anyone show me more ...

I bought 2 173 like pleco, i was told it's kinda zebra variant, but i doubt it...can anyone help on it? Here are they: No. 1 http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Greatshorty/IMG_1603_2.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105/Greatshorty/IMG_1611_2.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i105 ...

Even L174 can have these kind of pattern even that yours look very similar to L287-L399-L400 but...their eyes seams to be to small to be these species. It's a little hard to tell from the pics but does all species have small eyes? Pic 3 looks to have bigger eyes and if so it's L287-L399-L400 and ...

Whilst I'm far from the expert that Silurus is, I'd say that they are probably all L174 - it's a fairly variable species, so as long as they have SIMILAR patterning and body shape, same mouth (which would be useful to have a shot of), I'd call them the same species. -- Mats No. 3 is most likely to ...

All of them are 174?
They look different to it except pic no.3.
So what are the other two most likely to be?
