Help with identication Hypancistrus sp.

Post by Yakov_krepak »

I bought this fish as L400.
The actual size is about 5-6 cm
Is it true L400?

Hi,
difficult to say. Could be a nice Hypancistrus sp. L 66 too. Body color of L 400 is a cold white. Let them grow, they are nice fish anyway. L 399/L 400 are very hard to seperate.

Regards

Doesn't look like L66 to me. They don't have spots like this one.
