What be this pl*co?

Post by T »

Hi I just picked up this fish last week.He was £9 and labled as a zebra :roll:

Anyhoo he is really active and not at all shy, he is in a tank with med sized cichlids and he has no fear of them whatsoever(the bristlenoses and bulldog hardly ever come out).So far he has eaten lettuce,cucumber and sinking pellets(he goes mad for these).

So what is he? L008, Leopard Peckoltia maybe??

Perhaps something along the lines of L80, L49, L103, etc. (all look similar). Take a look at the Catalog entries for "Peckoltia sp. (LXXX)".
