i bought a tiny fish approx 1" (my Otocinclus are bigger than him) and was told he was a L150 does anyone have any info on this perticular one as he's too small to photograph at the moment. looks a very similar shape to the L187a but he's too small to say yet.
#will post pic when i get a good one of him

A picture would be a big help. The two L numbers are quite different. The one is an ancistrus the other is a chaestostma,wich has quite a different mouth among other things. Good luck.

sorry i meant to ask if anyone has any info on L150, pics etc so i can compare as he is too small to photograph

many thanks

Janne,

I would have to disagree. I've kept and spawned L150 in the past and the individuals showed a lot more of a brown coloration than the A. punctatus pictured. However, the adult size was similar, so L150 may be a natural color variant.

I have also spawn them a couple of times for a few years ago and my males was very black with golden dots all over the body and the females was much more brownish, maybe there are different population of this species and we had a thread for some month ago there shane asked about a similar species (I did not find the old thread) and to be honest...I'm not 100% certain that I had L-150 or A.punctatus but I cant tell them apart.

Likewise, I have to say that there is a possibility of mis-identification on my end. However, the fish I had were shipped in under the moniker L150 and matched Aqualog. I'm not sure if the Aqualog respresentation on that species is accurate.

AFAIK A. Punctatus is L182

well there won't be any photo's of him he past on 2 days ago, reason unknown but he was tiny, maybe stress i dunno but he'd been fine for a week living with 5 otto's a male betta and a male guppy . so its time to close this thread.
