Is this fish L-333? It was suggested in one of finnish forums that this is L-129. So what is your opinion.

Hi,

this is not L 129. Even the pattern is not typical for L 129. In my opinion the picture shows a L 333. Remember that L 333 was called "new Queen Arabesque". The bodyshape and the large eye could be the result of slow growing and not so perfect keeping conditions. Feed him well, and we will see.

Agreed. The tail is too deeply forked for L129. This fish is obviously stunted to some degree based on the eye size, but could still develop into a nice fish with some TLC.

Thank you. Water conditions are OK I think: pH 6,5 - 7,0, temperature 25 - 29C, dGH 5, dKH 3. The problem is that no matter how much food I give the bigger catfishes (1 synodontis angelica, 3 pimelodus pictus, 2 bristlenoses and 1 panaque nigrolineatus) seem to eat everything. I give them different kind of pleco pellets and now I have also started to give frozen red worms, Should I also give cucumber and zucchini?
