Thanx in advance for any help/info u can give

Well hello Mr Anderson,
As a very rough guess have a look at L134 and L174 in the cat elog.

Host the pics on another site (such as an online photoalbum service) and post a link from there.
Reading the sticky in the "What is my catfish" forum should help.

ok i took 2 pics with my nokia 3650 in poor light so the pics are poor but here they are, i hope someone can gimme some clues lol

Panaqolus maccus L-104 ?

it deffinatly looks like the L134, Leopard frog pleco.

Anyone got any info on these?? so far its the closest looking ive found pics of

there's a great breeding article in Shane's world by a forum member. I've got a few, including a pair I'm trying to breed, but they're pretty much standard peckoltias, treat them the same as any other. the lines looke maybe too small for L134, I can't tell exactly though

sort of, I missed the second pic, but... sort of, again, thin lines for that too... like halfway between that and L260... maybe it's just an odd pattern for the species?

lol okay thanx now im really lost haha thought i knew what it was but maybe not if its an L134 how big will it get?

ok i just checked pics of the L333 and my pleco looks more like the L134 for sure, also just noticed its eyes look kinda blueish, weird lol

All of the L134's i have seen (approx 8-10) have much thicker bands, maybe 3 or 4 times the thickness of the ones shown. The general colouration looks similar, but i dont think the body shape is.

Maybe you could try and get some clearer pics?

Hi,

I thinks it's a L134

-Klaus

yeah i'll try and get clearer pics today, it aint gonna like it lol, i aint got a digital camera i just have my trusty nokia 3650 camera phone

Hey Neo

very nice fish, (the gold nuggets are very impressive, there may be some people here interested in how you bred them).

rob

DoctorZeb good 2 see you, how is Zipper, Zebbidy, Zoom, Zoox, Zues, Zeb, Zorro etc etc lol. breeding nuggets, with them it was accidental and in my caccatoides half cocconut shell i just saw a few tiny plecs one day n that was that but im having a go again as 3 of my gold nuggets are showing the need to breed even as we speak they are chasing each other giving it the big curl n shakes etc, i have a little confussed nugget who is trying to get with a queen nugget 2 lol poor little dude aint got a clue......

anyways new pics of the cream zeb is here -

They aint great but better than the last 2 i reckon

For my 2p that's a L134, but you'll never convince everyone unless you get clearer pics. I would say thouhg that from the shape of the fish it is no Hypancistrus and that rules out a few of the suggestions. It might just be some type of Panaque, but L134 is famously variable in terms of pigmentation.

It deffinatly has the shape of a L046 Zebra, I cant get clearer pics for now im afraid

Maybe it's just the angle of the pictures but the head profile doesn't look steep enough and the eyes are set just a bit low in the head?



Jools

it must just be the pics as it deffinatly has the shape of head like the zebra's have, hopefully i now know what it is lol L134

Aren't the zebras snouts a little flatter than that? Also, in pic one of that second batch the mouth looks very panaqolus like.

I take it Keir from riverside doesn't have the L number on the retail list?

i aint sure, i went up to ask Keir 2day, but he wasnt in the shop so i'll have 2 try catch him next time

I have seen these at a wholesaler here in sweden and they look exactly like the L-134 except for the pattern, I think this can be a local species of L-134.

Hey Neo,
Why dont you just consult the oracle She would have known what it is before you even wanted to buy it Plus why you wanted to buy it
