Can any one ID Please?

Post by macvsog23 »

Hi

I brought these around a year ago from Pier 3 females and 2 males
They were listed as Columbian Zebs/ Hypans.
I picked up 3 more from my LFS I am confident they are all females.
I then poped them in a tank. Plenty of caves bog wood and good filtration water changes every 2 or 3 days
They are spawning and have produced several batches of eggs that have hatched and are now growing well.

My problem is I now wish to make some space so I wish to sell the group, I cant make any ID from the web and wonder can any one have a stab at what they may be ? The total length is around 3” on the larger male, the others are just under 3".

Wide lines makes me think L340. Particularly as they are also from Colombia.

Thanks mats
I did consider this L Number but mine have a white/ bluish band at the end of the tail?

I will try to get a closeup of this as it may help.
I am quite stumps as getting them from peir I would have thought Neil could have given them an ID he is quite a wizz with ID,s and sexing.

I'm certainly no expert on Hypans but they look like furunculus to me.

I think Steve (The.Dark.One) is right, H. furunculus is a better match. For some reason, I thought the L199 (which I did consider) was from Brazil... But I should have remembered that it was described and from Venezuela.

Hi,

that's right, it is Hypancistrus furunculus L199.
