L260 or monte dourado?
I recently bought 9 2.5" hypancistrus from a friend who was downsizing his collection. They were originally bought from Atlantis Hatchery as L260 queens, but I'm not so sure that's what all of them are.
I have a colony of adults, but some of these look to have finer stripes. Is that how young queens look? Here are some not-so-good-pics...thanks for the help! (and please ignore the fluorescent pagodas - I tip them sideways for caves.).
there are a few more I couldn't get pics of - but they look closest to the last fish.

I agree that he looks close. Unfortunately, I traded the group to the LFS for credit on true adult 260's when they come in. I figured it's not worth the risk of hybridization.
In the store, however, he does look different than 260's. There's a tank full of similar sized juvi queens that have a definitely different contasting pattern. The black is blacker and the white is whiter, if that makes sense.
