which L- Series is this ?

Post by javednaik »

Found these in my tank 4 days ago they come out after lights are off.
My guess is these are L 18. Golden Nugget.

My guess is a juvenile, common Ancistrus.

Do not have a Common Ancistrus in the tank, have six L-18s, 2 green Phantoms, 2 Blue Phantoms and 2 Panaque with a Galaxy Pleco.

Going to need some better pictures to do any identification.

How large are your Gold nuggets? They don't mature until they are about 6-7" long and are notoriously difficult to breed. It would be a very welcome surprise if they did spawn for you.

At this point I would still say they are common Ancistrus.

Any pictures of the adults would be useful also to help confirm ID

They look to be old enough. Have any better photos of the juveniles so we can confirm?
