two interesting L# contanimants

[Nabobmob1]

Here are two fish I recently got in, the first is larger (near 5") and was with a group of young adult L333 at a local importers place, stripes are a off white to light tan, not yellow in comparison to L333

Fish one:









Fish two came in at 2.5 inches with a box of L270 from a US importer








I would really like to ID these and either find trade them to someone who is trying to breed them. I'm fairly confident the first fish is a female, the second I cannot tell.

ALSO if anyone has any tips for separating L129, L270, and L340 I'd love to hear them cause I'm almost positive that my box was mixed.

You have a nice L400 adult in the first picture.
Second picture still a bit young to have it ID 100% accurately

Never the less some amazing fish there. They are different than your L333, so avoid breeding them with the L333.

Fish 1 can be L066 or L400. L066 can sometimes show markings like this. L066 grow bigger than L400, so that could be a way to tell, but it will probably take some time

Fish 2 is young, which makes it impossible to ID. It can be L066, L236, L400...but if it was actually caught in the Tapajos where L270 come from, then it's quite interesting...but I guess we'll never know. It was probably mixed up at some holding station between it's habitat and the exporter.

Imo, Fish 1+2 = L399/400

Fish 2 came from Unungy but does not match any of the other plecos received from him the only oddball in the box
