L201 or not?

Post by Marie-Alix »

Hi guys,

I've buy 5 hypancistrus 2 years ago as "L201" but the guy who sold them told me that he wasn't sure about this identification because the parents of the babies I bought were maximum 7-8 cm big, and L201 are more like 12 cm big.
Now those 5 hypancistrus have spawned and I'd like to know if they are really L201 or another species.

Here are some pics,

When i bought them:
