L103?

Post by nadajdui »

I know a few plecos go by L103, or so I have seen, but I was wondering if that is the true identity of my fish. It was sold to me under the name L103 Peckoltia. I looked at the L103 on this site, and the markings are quite different. Color variation, or different species?
This is the best picture I could get, as the fish is quite camera shy. Thanks :)

Definitely not a Clown, as it has spotted fins.

It looks like to me.

But it could be L128 or something like that too...

I think that is a very young Panaque maccus.

Janne, I think you're right [why wouldn't you be, you've bred more species of Loricariidae than I've ever seen (at least if we don't count photos as "seeing")! ;-)]

I didn't think about doing a size-reference. The glowlight tetra is bigger than the questioned fish - and closer to the camera, so I guess the fish in question is about an 2-3cm long, which means that young P. maccus is a good match.
