Post by Birger Amundsen »

I`l start an ID tread for my ID`s instead of starting a new one all the time (since I`m nagging about ID all the time LOL)

I reckoned this i L-333? From the free fish i got)

I would think L66 due the lower body profile, size of eye compared to the size of head and the overall pattern.

Yep, that's what it is. BTW, Looks like there might be a small red sore by its tail.

Just moved mu group of L-134, but i suspect that they are all males, so need an expert opinion.
All picks of individual picks. I also think that they are from different locations, due to difference in pattern?

Hi Birger,
I think that these are all males.
I have not seen a female Peckoltia with those sorts of bristles on the rear of the body of the fish.

Cheers

That was my conclusion as well, I will have to try and trade some, since they are rarely for sale as adults here in Norway...

As suggested, I think we agree on this being L-169?

But what is this?

And one of those I always mistake for 066/333?

Hi,

I dont think your adult L260 is a L260...the lines seem too few and too far apart, also the body shape seems to be wrong for L260.

Hi Birger,

I think this would be Farlowella amazona.
You can follow by going through the key to the species
