Peckoltia vittata or L134

Adam · Post by **Adam** » 04 Dec 2003, 01:58

Hi all,

I was sold these fish as L134 or Leopard frog Pleco. But I think they may actually be Peckoltia vittata instead.

What do you good people think?

The Zoancistrus has a very distinctive tail shape. Any chance of getting a pic of the tail?

I'll see if I can get a shot of the tail and also the mouth. Not sure how I'll go though.

To me it looks like the L-134, that is not the vittata anyway and not either Zonancistrus pulcher I think. How small is he?
Take a photo from one side on the hole fish.

Hi!

Yes I would also say Peckoltia sp L134 ...
But to take the rest of doubt, if you could make a picture of the fish sideway...that will really be helpfull.
Cheers

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm having trouble getting pictures. These are photos of some fish from the same group from which mine came.

Does this help? or do I really need to get the profile and mouth?

00 MooRRii 00,

No problem with you using this forum to show off your wares or have them identified, but if you are entering into this kind of stuff can you do it by PM and keep it off the topics?

Thanks,

Jools

It's just that this sort of post doesn't really add anything of value for readers except for the two involved hence it's better to PM. It's a general rule we _try_ and follow but it is often hard to catch all instances of it - this was just a really clear cut one.

Although this is a specific instance involving you, I am posting this rather than PMing it because others can learn and act according from it too.

It's all in the name of keeping topics focussed - no problem at all you guys using my diskspace to PM on this type of thing.

Yours looks similar to the fish I was hoping to get when I ordered (3) peckoltia vittata, but I got nothing close. Mine are all light brown with darker brown spots and stripes as it nears the tail. They tell me they are "clown" Pl*cos (which are what I ordered,) but I was expecting something different. Your fish is certainly beautiful, though, btw.
