is this really L182

Post by gibbus »

This was offered as L182(Ancistrus punctatus) but i'm not convinced. siz is around 4inches, brown color with streaks of orange at the fins. Dots onth head area and spattering dots toward the tail.

I'm still thinking that it's the rio ucayali variety, simply because they are pretty common, and the spots are normally on the orange side.
