Quick Question (L Number)

Is this L163? I'm pretty confident it is but this one has more reddish fins and no spots on the fins either. Thanks for any help!

Hi!

It could well be one...
The only problem is that your fish is showing stressfull coloration so not the best to give an accruate id...
Any chance to take a pic in a tank where he had settle in...

Sure the fins has that sort of reddish colour but you can totally rule out L12/13 with such pic...

Cheers

I had to take the photos before I put him in the tank, because I knew that once I put him in I would never see him again with all the plants and driftwood I have.

Is there any special foods that might lure him out so I can get a better picture?

Hi!

Usually bloodworm would do the trick!!

Turn the lights out in the room and just shime a torch into an open space in the tank
put bloodworm into the tank and once it has thawed place it in the torch light and wait for him to come out and snap some pics of it

I could've sworn I replied back to this thread this morning! I remember it because I posted a new picture... What happened to my reply?

Anyway, I tried tubifex worms but the corys ate all of them before anybody else could get some. But I did manage to snap this photo from the side of my tank...

Thank you! I noticed that once he became settled into my tank, he developed the spots on his fins and even more spots on his body.
