I am sure you have seen this movie 1000 times. Please advice what kind of catfish is that?

Thanks!

as far as i know, this is an undescribed species of Leporacanthicus from Venezuela.

it sure is beautiful

Thanks!

Is that fish in stok some were?

I believe the thoughts are that they are one of the less common L-numbers. But it's not certain, from what I know.

The pattern looks similar to . Very nice looking fish. I wonder if it looses its nice patterns when it grows older like the L065 do?

haven't there been 2-3 other posts to this exact same video?

According to this http://www.l-welse.com/reviewpost/showp ... 379/cat/36 it's a onetimer.
I wish it was in one of my tanks ....

Both of those are awesome. Wonder how hard they are to get in the states?

According to this,it's a onetimer.

The answer therefore is, pretty much impossible to get hold of

Since I had "they are" I was including L065 in that question. I should have just mentioned L065 but dont want to hijack this thread talking about a somewhat similar appearing species.

Hi,

just to complete this topic:

The shown pleco is not even closer related to L 65, which is a Pseudacanthicus. Just have a look at the mouth(http://www.l-welse.com/reviewpost/showp ... 379/cat/36), the barbels are a typical characteristic of Leporacanthicus.

Glaser once imported a Leporacanthicus from Venezuela reminding me of that one: http://www.aquariumglaser.de/de/leporac ... e_993.html

When I wrote the article for http://www.l-welse.com I asked Ivan, the owner and captor, about it. He told me, that it would be the only specimen. And he didn`t want to sell. But this is, I dont know, I think 3 years ago....
