Hypancistrus sp?

Post by Gertbl »

Hi all,

Yesterday I thought I bought two L260 Hypancistrus sp., but after looking at the pictures it looks to me that it is a different Hypancistrus species.
Hope you can id them with some of the pictures I made.

I got them from a local fish store. They lablled them as L260, but after I got them home, they looked not sthey same as the L260 group that I already have. So now I would like to know which L species this could be.

Edit:
I know that this lfs is getting there fish from Ruinemans b.v.
I just had a look on there stiocklist and saw that they sell, L400, L333 and L450
