Who am I?

Post by Caraya »

Hello all!

I hope you can help me with my question...
who knows what kind of catfish this is?
I bought it as the L173, but is it really?

Very beautiful fish!
I don't think this is L173, maybe Hypancistrus sp. Xingu or Gurupa. Or maybe L66.
In any case this is a Hypancistrus sp.

L46, L102, L174

Hi,
a very nive variant! Doesn't look like L 173 to me - seems to be a kind of L 333 typus.
Look at the folowing picture:

These fish came from Belem to Germany. When they are young they are white. Adult Fish shows a kind od dark yellow. A very nice fish.

I would say it is a L66. Beautiful fish when they are young :D
Every great achievement begins with a dream ;-)
