Post by Freakdaddy »

Hi all, I came home with 2 of these today.They are 3" and 4" in length.these pics were taken just after they went in the tank so they are still a bit pale from traveling.The tank at the fs had Peckoltia sp written on it.when I ask for a L no I got no joy from the assistant.Any ideas?

Didn't come labeled with the L number but that looks like a fish we got in that was ordered under the name Columbian Peckoltia.
