Did you know fantastic help is an anagram of Planet Catfish? This forum is for those of you with pictures of your catfish who are looking for help identifying them. There are many here to help and a firm ID is the first step towards keeping your catfish in the best conditions.
Been a while for me in here (last three pickups have been bristlenoses so no help needed there lol). Picked up these two today, was hoping that it might be possible to confirm L number and sex.
I have labeled them fish A and B. I believe A to be male (has some nice whiskers and hair on tips of the pecs) and B to be female (fingers crossed). They are approx 5.5cm, fish B seems to be slightly smaller but only by a small amount.
Looks like you have a pair of L201 (A is male, B looks female) If you look at A, like you said he has larger whiskers and 'hairy' fins. From the aerial view B has a more rounded head which curves back to the fins, while A's head is more squared off & the side continues in a straight line up past the eyes.
