L182

Post by 816johnv »

Hi all,


just a quick question do L182 look like common Bristlenose when they are stressed??? in other words do they change from black to brown???

i am asking this question because i have seen a picture of some L182 that i am going to hopefully buy but they just look like commmon BN... the seller said this is because they where stressed from being caught.


Regards

Yes they do look brownish when stressed or beaten up.
The spots on the body should be really small micro dots.

why are you asking on another forum? dont you believe the seller? you could have just asked anyone else on the original forum and they would have told you!
