Purchased from my LFS this AM. It came in last week with my L200 and L190, but I hesitated. It was labeled as a Flame Tail Gibby, I've neverheard that one. My thought is an L114, yes the tail is orange. I know it's small, just over an inch, but I was hoping we might be able to tell.

By the way: my L190

And my L200

bottomdwellin,

I agree. It looks identical to the small L114 that show up in the local shops here. I was also informed that L114 are now showing up on the import lists. That may not be applicable to your question, but it does show that they are starting to become available from the importers.

Hi!

Just my impression, but do the Panaque and the L200 have sunken eyes? How is their belly?

Bottomdwellin,
What store and where did you get those from?

Thanks guys.
I thought I had identified it right.
As for the Green & Royal having sunken eyes, I don't think they were, maybe the royal a little but they are not now. The pics were taken two weeks ago, the day I bought them. They both have been eating well and have even to slightly extended bellies.

The first one: more like juvenile L114
