Just trying to get a confirmed ID on this little fellow (as far as I know he is a few years old and is under 3" in length - he has not grown since I got him but his coloring has improved greatly from the gray he was) now that he is actively coming out without running when I bring out a phone to snap ...

L205

? - perhaps more likely given P. brevis isn't from an area collected very often if at all.

That looks like her stress coloration, and is the correct adult six (6" max). Just looks like they might not be easy of a find as P. brevis.

Recently picked up this big girl (she is almost 6 inches in length including her caudal, which is not a full measure of just body length lol), she is roughly 3 years old and currently hiding very well so I have yet to get a better shot of her (dorsal up, etc).
Her spots stay mostly uniform without ...

Got better pictures of the ones I have.

Pulled them to get a better shot, this is after about 8 minutes in the container.

No catch location, they were simply listed as butterfly plecos.
What your saying is they can breed anyway despite not showing similar coloration and pattern displays? (The larger two show dark coloring on darker substrate, the smaller in the one pictured with it showing visible pattern under the ...

I have three of these guys and I am trying to figure out what they are, the third (not pictured) seems to be male based on the extended growths of odontodes on the pectoral fins. The smallest does not show coloration that the larger two do, the smallest is just over 2.5" it also doesn't seem to vary ...

About two inches.

I'm going to have to pull and compare the other two now, this one I got for 16, the others for 17 (I was hoping they'd be l270 for later breeding - but with three i have a good chance for them breeding as long all three are the same species).

This is one of three plecos i've gotten from a LFS, they were listed as chocolate zebra plecos. These are not from a breeder but a supplier, which has been known to switch up fish (like albino neon tetras instead of cardinal tetras or sending in h. strictus/bellotii instead of rummynose).
This one ...

Does the dorsal have a black spot or is it clear? It may be a trick of the photo. My first thought was Corydoras gomezi .

Jools

It has a slight black marking further down in the dorsal, that also doesn't connect to the main dorsal spine or extend to the top of the dorsal rays like the pictured ...

Needing an id on the non-trilineatus cory. The trilineatus is a female being used to compare the two to show the differences in hopes for an id.
The unknown also has a slight green shine to the gill plates and armor near the head.

I am trying to make sure of these guys id. I have four of them, two with pretty much straight patterning and two with more intricate patterning. They are all supposed to be the same species.

Any help is ...

In search of a blue eyed bristlenose female, can be young/tiny, proven or unproven - long or short fin. Not looking to have shipped until after the New Year (don't trust shipping services to actually get it on time right now).

Will also look at groups of blue eye bn juveniles.

This little one is around 3/4" not including his tail, has 7 soft dorsal rays, his pattern is more extensive than pictured as he was stressed out after a long travel time. He was in with pygmy cories (which were barely 1/2" including the tail).
He has a second darker stripe along the lateral line ...

I got clean pictures of the two, both are really calm with being handled, both have the thick white stripe down the caudal fin with an orange coloring going towards the base of the caudal where the normal pattern takes over. They have little bubbles on them in the pictures because it was fresh ...

They don't just have white tips to the caudal, both display a fully white stripe on the edge of the tail which they have maintained from when I received them in the mail to now.
Have you see any Rio Paraguay that display a full white stripe even when they are sexable? And I cannot say they are Rio ...

Here are two shots of them as juveniles (the male is 3 inches easily, the female is 2.5 inches).

I am trying to confirm the id on this pair of Ancistrus.
