Hello
I have these 2*2 nice hypancistrus, but i have no category for theme?
Do thay have a L number (maybe L450 Santerem & ??)
They dont look like no other i have and i have put theme in a Discus Tank some time ago, but i think this nice forum can help me ID these hypancistrus.

Yes the 2 off theme looks like L450 Santerem.
actully i have another gróup of L450 and they look like this or very simulary, so maybe these also are L450, let´s see if anyonbe else have another clue
and what about the 2 other, what are they?

Hi
I think you have a very nice group of L450, rarely seen in the hobby.
I think both groups are l450 but those off color maybe females.
It is my experience that girls go off color when they are stressed more the males.
This is of course my opinion based on what I've seen and it has not proven foundations.

PS: lovely fish.

Hi
Thanks for the feed back.
I have another group of L450 where i am 100% sure that it is L450 I have seen the parents and trust this breeder. (maybe i have to re consider this
)
I can try to take photos of those and post in this tread.
