Is this L129 ?

Post by plesner »

Went to Sweden today with a friend of mine, who ended up buying 2 pairs of what was labeled as Peckoltia spec. (L129).

After checking the Cat-eLog, I discovered that L129 is actually a Hypancistrus and I was wondering if this fish actually IS L129 ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Well, I shall be first to stick my oar in. The last photo show Hypancistrus teeth very nicely I thing? I am tempted to say L199, but there are MANY other higher l-numbers that are also good suggestions.
