Anyone have an idea of what species the first fish in this page is? The pictures says something about Peckoltia...

This is L226 AKA the Iquitos Tiger. I went fishing for them at night in Peru.

Very beautiful Iquitos Tiger.

I have never seen such colorful one although I have imported so many L226 in last year.

I don't mean to be rude, but after rubbing my eyes three times, I still can't seen to see resemblence between the pleco in question : http://www.projectamazonas.com/subpages ... allery.htm
and the ones shown as L226.
Is there more references to this?
