Hi,

thanks

I think they are spotty

Panaqolus sp(l204)

. The stripes tend to break up into spots with age. Perhaps a regional phenotype?

Panaqolus albomaculatus

is a possibility, but I've kept both species and I lean towards the L204, mainly because you can still see the remnants of the stripes on the body and fins (these are absent even in young P. albomaculatus).

the fish is about 14 cm long, it can help you?

The first one is a L204, there's a great variabiltity in the species....I have L204's with spots and stripes and only spots

the second one could be a albomaculatus or a cf albomaculatus, the spots are much smaller

Doesnt look like L-204 to me. Im seeing a Mustard Spot Pleco

the albomaculatus has only spots, one has stripes

[jackrevi]

There are two options:
- 2 L 204
- 1 L 204 and 1 Panaqolus albomaculatus
right?
after I put a video.
thanks
