Peckoltia vittata variations

Post by ColumbianChocolate »

I have a large female Peckoltia. I bought her from a local aquarist who was closing down his tank. I know for definite she is a Peckoltia vittata variety, possibly the L288, I have attached some photos.
I also have some tank bred L015 Peckoltia vittata and wondered if I should let them breed with her in the future? Are they all the same species but just caught from different areas?
Let me know what you think

I wouldn't breed different L-numbers.

Ok thanks mats,
I thought as much, I will be looking for a new home for her. I will put her in the sale/swap section of the website
