Maybe this image helps. It chases corys around, looks a bit meathungry, but I thought it was vegetarian if it's not a L340 :P

It does and it doesn't, varying images to say the least, but there's a resemblance. The yellow/orange markings aren't that bright or big though, but it looks the same otherwise, it may be that the colour varies because of the colours in the tank, but mine looks darker than those. But I'm not good at ...

That's what I was thinking, most people just seem to guess what it is. But it's fairly small, about 10cm. I have one better picture, but I'd have to send the picture to you in a pm or something if you think you can identify it, because I might use it in a competition and can't publish it then. Let ...

Bought as L340

Hi experts, Gonna have to bother you again :) I bought this fish privately as a L340, but as I know very little about L-catfish I'd like to know for sure. It seems to eat both wood, greens and meatier stuff. So here's a pic when it's enjoying some watermelon. http://www.bee-digital.com/images ...

I know this is a bit off topic, but that top photo is stunning. How did you take it? Set up, etc. Thanks, I appreciate the comment, although OT :) It's taken using a Canon EOS400D, with a Tamron SP Di 90mm Macro lens. No blitz, just aquarium lighting. Tripod. ISO400, 1/160 shutter, f/2,8 and last ...

Edit: URL Errors, now it works :P Did some new photos, now with a bit more lighting. Maybe it can help somebody identify them :) There's still the two types here, the smaller one is in only one shot I think. It's got more dark areas. http://www.bee-digital.com/images/akvarie/IMG_2624.JPG http://www ...

I did that now, so do a CTRL-R (reload) and the brighter ones should show up. Still crap, gotta take some new ones, but I'm too used to working with RAW that it gets messed up :)

I was at my laptop yesterday, but now at work I see that obviously these images are far too dark. Turn up your brightness :oops: Looking at the German identification sites images, Macrospilus is out of the question. It does look close to huaorani, but the tail marking make me unsure. Edit: I'm ...

mikelouth: Thanks for the positive comments. Now guys, I have taken some new photos, but my main computer isn't working so I don't have anything to pre-process them with, and when you try to take good macro shots that does result in less great results :) But here's what I got. I have two fishes that ...

Thanks for a lot of good info Mike, and the positive photography comment, I competed with it in a Norwegian fishphoto-competition and got second place so I'm happy with it. From the drawing I'd say the top fin (sorry, not good with the names) is too big on the huaorani compared to my otocincluses ...

That was my first thought, but wanted to see if others thought so too. Thanks. If anyone is even more sure, please chime in.

What oto is this?

I'd like to know for sure, as I am a big otocinclus fan. The store information is that it's wild caught from Colombia, but they call all of them affinis, however it looks nothing like that to me. I could take more pictures, but I'm not sure if all those I have are the same either, so some proper ...
