Is this Peckoltia brevis?

Post by Caol_ila »

Hi!

Somebody from another forum doesnt know which Peckoltia this would be?

By the way why isnt there a pic of P.brevis in the elog? Or is it similar to L205?

Err, L140 isn't P. brevis I don't think and certainly doesn't have a spotted muzzle. I would go for L205, but there are a lots of rivers in South America with very similar fish to this in them.

my mistake just when you think you can do without checking the catelog.
I notice now that L140 isn't even listed, however aqualog has it down as P.brevis (vittata).

Aye, it's one of those dodgy out-of-water shots taken, by the looks of it, at the side of the Rio Tapajos.

Yes - you're right - it does look the same.
But did Aqualoq use the right picture?

Hi,
don´t take the old Aqualog as reference.
There will be a new Aqualog hopefully till Christmas (not the Aqualog "The Latest L Numbers", which you can buy already), with all L Numbers from L 1 to L 342 and LDA 1 to LDA 76 and, as Frank Schäfer told, with not so many faults ;)
Also German Datz plans a new bokl or Special Editon of the Magazin "15 Jahre L Nummern" with all original pictures (Ingo Seidel, André Werner, ...).
Maybe confusion will end then ... :)

Hi!

I don't know about L140 ( have not that issue of datz with me)
Regarding L205, the fish pictured here has those black marks that L205 lacks so it shall rule it out...
I will vote for Peckoltia cf brevis
Cheers

Hi Jools!

I was talking about those "stripes" on the head and body!
Present here on the fish shown by Chris, absent from L205!

brevis

Post by lisa23 »

Looks like brevis but could also be peckoltia sp.(1) on scotcat.
brevis seems to be more spotted on the head and lacks the facial stripes.

Hi!

Here is a picture of a juvenil L205. Picture of Andre Werner of Transfish:

There are some differences in the pattern which could be because of the age of the fish... still the differences are enough to make me doubt about that L205 id.
