Any Ideas what they may be?

Post by bassgenie »

I Received these in a Trade a while back. They are around an 1.5 inch to 1.75 Inches TL at this time. They were given to me as L-333 which I believe that to be a "Mis-ID"..

I'm curious to hear what you folks think they may be. I'm leaning towards L-129 debilittera. I appreciate all input. Thanks

I think you are correct with L129 but it could possibly be L340 as well. let's see what others have to say.

Hi all,
Could be
Hypancistrus debilittera
, which may include L129 & L340. The fishs fins looks a bit scraggy, and I'm not sure about the shell gravel in the tank, it will raise the pH and hardness of the water. Personally I'm not a fan of large gravel as a substrate.
