Hi There

I am getting 4 of the fish labeled as L340 below. I am hoping that they are true L340's but would be happy even if they are not.

Any takes on what it might be?



Thanks

Andre

That's a nice collection - unfortunately, I would like to see a more detailed photo of the fish you're asking about - a closer up lateral with the dorsal fin raised and a shot of the mouth just to confirm it's Hypancistrus - there's several others that have pretty similar. Without a better pic, it's hard to say what it is - certainly can't rule out L340, but there are several others that it could also be.

You have probably got the wrong number for your Peckoltia, I think you have L201 (or L15, they are difficult to tell apart). L204 is definitely NOT your fish, as that's a Flash Panaque, a dark based fish with thin yellow/white lines...

Hi Matts

Thanks for the quick reply. The fish are still in the dealer's tank and I am getting them next week when I will post the pictures you requested.

Thanks again.

Andre,
This labeled L 204 is actually L 52 or Dekeyseria brachyura. I can not tell which from the photo.

Hello,

and that one labeld as "L-340" looks very much like a half grown L-134.
L340 does not show these clear stripes in yellow and black as the L-134 does.

Hey guys

The collection is pretty good
We are lucky enough to get a good supply of nice plecos in the last year or so.

I am picking them up from the airport in an hour or so and will post some new pics once they are safe at home.

Here's L204

I'm not 100% sure it's not L340 (I've seen a LOT of these recently) - it is certainly a Hypancistrus and not a Peckoltia going on the headshape. Not an L134 for sure.

The L340 Looks like a L345 or could also be a juvenile L333.
