Please could someone help me ID the following,

I have no idea what pleco is in this photo, it has a white seam on its tail (you can't see it very well in the image)

Is the pleco in this photo a yellow king tiger L333, a normal king tiger L66 or something else? (The pleco is around 4.5")

Thanks in advance!

the first one looks like Ancistomus sp. L-358 or Ancistomus snethlagae (L-141)

the otherone is an Hypancistrus sp. might be L-129

mallemalle

Your second fish is L066.

Agre with mallemalle on the first one L-141 and the second is L-66 as silurus said.

Thank you! Not much info available on L141- anyone have any ideas on adult size, diet etc?

Hi!

Well L141 is given to attain 25cm long, they are omnivore, eating vegetarian food, tablets and pellets, insect larvae.

Hi Yann!
Do you have any information or links on that 25 cm length? Most sources I've found say appr. 15 cm and that's actually what I found you've said in a previous message as well (http://www.forum.planetcatfish.com/viewtopic.php?p=9268), so maybe you have some new information? I'd be very curious to know, as I have one myself and it's now at about 12-14 cm.

Hi!

I took the information from the Datz Sondernheft L-numbers...
I was also a bit surprise by the size as I would excpect them not to grow over 20cm...
Maybe a typing error...
Cheers

Last week I measured one of my two L141's. He was 22 cm long.

Because I had read the info about L141 here-on-PC a couple of years age, I had not still clear in my head how big they could grow. Remembered vaguely something about 19 cm's. But now I realize that that was the length of L200, I had years ago.

Today I saw here-on-PC, that their utter length should be 15 cm. I did more (re)search on the web: On a German site they mentioned 20 cm. That's more like it!

Looking further I saw this post. Thought thus it was necessary to complement: They become longer than the 15 cm here mentioned.

how can you exclude all the other Hypancistrus sp. with worm-like pattern with this modest pic ?!
Even with a good pic it's (close to) impossible to ID Hypancistrus sp. without any further information w.r.t. origin, teeth,... or am I wrong ?!

good point
i was thinking l340 but its close to imposible to say

I would just like to point out that this is a thread from 2004 that has been resurrected - probably little point discussing ID, apart from to note that it
is interesting that things were apparently much simpler then.
