L201 identification
Posted: 19 Dec 2006, 18:42
I know there are several species which are sold as L201 and I read the discussion about L201 vs L202 and the differencent in markings. My 6 fish all look like the cat-elog L201 photos. No back borders on the unpaired fins.
These fish of mine came in small and compared to many other Hypancistrus I have seem to be slow growing and likely remain among the smaller sized plecos of Hypancistrus species. Are we deciding that Hypancistrus L201 is not H. inspector, now? Is Hypancistrus L202 the valid H. inspector based on the coloration of the holotype description of H. inspector?
Just trying to keep these things straight in my mind. I could not attch photos of my fish. They are the most reclusive of all the small plecos that share this 75 gallon tank. They are the first to dash for cover at lights on. The others in this tank are not as shy; L134, L066, L333, L173, and Peckoltia vitatta.
The recent photos on home page are representative of my L201?
