L263 or L264?

Post by Sanplec »

Hi guys,

I'm not 100% sure that these fish are L264.
The dots are small, the dots stop at the edge of the dorsal fin.
Also is the colour seems different.
I noticed L263 grows much bigger, my tank isn't big enough for L263 :P
The pleco's are between 10 and 13 cm.
I was comparing with the last three pictures, these fish are from a keeper in Germany.

All of these L264 do have dots in the edge of the dorsal fin

I have L263. Your fish don't look like L263. L263 is distinctly more brown.

Thanks everyone.
I just want to be sure, isn't it possible it's L314? :ymblushing:
And are the last three pics also L264?

What makes you think it's not L264?
I doubt they are L314, as these are also more brown than L264 - and your fish looks grey to me.
