L201 Hypancistrus Inspector

Post by MarkN »

Looking for sexing help with the 201. I just got a large group in from Columbia and I want to make sure I get a group for myself before I sell the rest. Any help on sexing and breeding is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Mark

I think you'll get help if you post some photos.

Mark,

You didn't mention size. IME, L201 are rather easy to sex past 2 1/4 inches SL and are obvious after 2 1/2 inches SL. Anything smaller than that is going to be nearly impossible.

Impossible only means that somebody hasn't done it correctly yet.
