Re: The most beautiful L75
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.

Re: The most beautiful L75
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.

Re: The most beautiful L75
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...

Re: The most beautiful L75
Hi,

Re: The most beautiful L75
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...

Re: The most beautiful L75
Those are sure nice. Mine has very nice colouration, but the dots are not as distinct in the head region.

Re: The most beautiful L75
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.Cristoffer Forssander wrote:Wrasse... wheres you're specimen from? Sure looks nice!
BTW- love the emoticon!!! the best.
Re: The most beautiful L75
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?
