Yeah that what I kinda thought that it wouldn't be ID-able due to me having no idea what the collecting point was for this pleco. Oh well I guess it will remain labeled as Hypostomus sp.MatsP wrote:I'm pretty sure that L087 is a Cochliodon group fish, and the fish in this thread is NOT a Cochliodon fish.
I suspect this fish is not an L-number fish, but rather one of the common species from South America that isn't exported much because they are not worth much for their size, when you can get Pterygoplichthys that are quite similar, and very cheap.
is a match, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it really is that, as there are others that are very similar. For example, if it came from the Rio Janeiro river, it would be . If it arrived from Trinidad, it would be . If it's from Upper Amazon & Peru, then perhaps .
That's just a quick sampling from species that I have previously looked based on memory of having looked at them, so I'm not at all saying it has to be any of these species.
