Hi all,

I was sold these fish as L134 or Leopard frog Pleco. But I think they may actually be Peckoltia vittata instead.

What do you good people think?

hey Adam, lovely fish!

can you get me some mate?

The Zoancistrus has a very distinctive tail shape. Any chance of getting a pic of the tail?

Rusty

I'll see if I can get a shot of the tail and also the mouth. Not sure how I'll go though.

Adam

Fish are doing well mate.

Ill gte you your pics tomorrow morning. Thats if the fish co-operate.

To me it looks like the L-134, that is not the vittata anyway and not either Zonancistrus pulcher I think. How small is he?
Take a photo from one side on the hole fish.

Janne

first impression L134.

Hi!

Yes I would also say Peckoltia sp L134 ...
But to take the rest of doubt, if you could make a picture of the fish sideway...that will really be helpfull.
Cheers
Yann

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm having trouble getting pictures. These are photos of some fish from the same group from which mine came.

Does this help? or do I really need to get the profile and mouth?

Adam

Yeah, those are certainly L134.

00 MooRRii 00,

No problem with you using this forum to show off your wares or have them identified, but if you are entering into this kind of stuff can you do it by PM and keep it off the topics?

Thanks,

Jools

Wasn't aware it was a problem. Thanks for informing me.

Alex

in your last post Adam is there suppose to be two pics? if so i can only see the bottom one and to me that dont look like the first pic you sent, i agree that the last pic is an L-134 but i dont on the first pic, can you get some more pics of the first one?

It's just that this sort of post doesn't really add anything of value for readers except for the two involved hence it's better to PM. It's a general rule we _try_ and follow but it is often hard to catch all instances of it - this was just a really clear cut one.

Although this is a specific instance involving you, I am posting this rather than PMing it because others can learn and act according from it too.

It's all in the name of keeping topics focussed - no problem at all you guys using my diskspace to PM on this type of thing.

Yours looks similar to the fish I was hoping to get when I ordered (3) peckoltia vittata, but I got nothing close. Mine are all light brown with darker brown spots and stripes as it nears the tail. They tell me they are "clown" Pl*cos (which are what I ordered,) but I was expecting something different. Your fish is certainly beautiful, though, btw.
