Unidentified Hypan - L98 / L173 / L236?

[andrewcoxon]

got this about 4 or 5 months ago and she's grown quite a bit, i think female but im not sure on the l number... i know there is alot of miss info about 173 ect... anyone know what it could be? all 3 pics are of the same fish, from the top and both sides... whatever it is she's a stunner :love:

thanks in advance!

Looks like L-173 to me.

Looks like a 46 with a slight wavy pattern.

With a very slow conection only able to see the first pic I would say it's H. zebra (L46) nothing else.

wow...nice! very beautiful!

this isnt a 173.. visit this site,,. and check out their hypan seciton, also needs translating.

this is some L-173's/L-98's

This is an L-46 with wavy lines, I have some on these guys myself, its just a genetic trait in the fish, I have had over 25 fry yielded from multiple spawns and out of the 25, 2 of these looked identical to your fish , very lovely female though, breed her, maybe you can yield fry looking like her, maybe not, mine arent big enough to breed yet, interesting to find out.

this shows the L98 L173 and L236, they do have each of them in stock ranging from 220 each to 500 each depending on size, they do not ship worldwide though. only thing.

Unless of course you turn off the word censoring in the control panel, in which case words like pleco and cichlid will appear unaltered.

It's because pleco has a * in it. You have to replace the * with an e or turn off censoring.

PlecO,

Please post some photos of your "over 25 fry" so we can see what they look like when they are small.

I'd bet like zebra plec fry, but pics would be fantastic.
