The most beautiful L75

Hello!

In what river could you find the most colorful "Hemiancistrus" sabaii?

Cheers

There are fish same/similar to from almost every main river in the Guyana Shield and Amazon Basin.

So, yes, there are variants of this fish that are subtly different. I'm afraid I don't know which of these variants is prettier (most likely, also a personal preference) or where it's from.

Of course there is a personal opinion on the most beautiful L75, but they are found in a number of rivers so I was thinking that perhaps there is some kind of over wew of the colorvarietys of their distributions.

I'm sure there may be some "map vs pattern" list/table/description somewhere.

L301 comes from Rupununi, so it's unlikely to turn up in the trade very often. There is a variant from Rio Xingu that, as far as I know, doesn't have any assignation (and technically isn't covered by P. sabaji original description).

So the L-numbers are L075 (Rio Para) and L124 (Rio Orinoco). I suspect most fish sold are not necessarily correctly assigned the correct L-number...

Hi,
mine L75 are also very nice. I think they are originally from the Rio Xingu.

Here is a colorful L124. Im not exactly sure about what river they are from.

I´ve seen anoter L124 that was brown with big spots.

There is also some L75 from Brasil that is more ornage/reedish in their fins...

Female L124 16 cm SL

Those are sure nice. Mine has very nice colouration, but the dots are not as distinct in the head region.

Hi Cristoffer. At this point I wish I knew, I'll try to find out. I want to obtain a few more beauties for a longer term breeding project.

BTW- love the emoticon!!! the best.

First post on the forum after many hours of browsing. ;-)

I just bought the L-75 last week and finally got a chance to take a pic.

She's really not letting me see her at all. I had to move a stone to take the picture...after day's of patience, waiting and searching...
That's different from what i read on this forum. Anyone has an idea why?
