L Number Id Please?

[ian]

just bought this as a clown plec L-162, however, just having a look at them, he hasn't got the stripes, he's got spots! His fin isn't tall.

Please tell me he's not a tank buster.

heres some pics

BTW he's still in the net as if he's gonna get to 18 foot long, i'll take him back now!

Definitely not a clown looks like it could be a gibby or an orange spot but the pics are not clear enough to give an accurate id!

It's a common bristlenose mate, looks orange in one of the photo's but im presuming that's just the picture?

+1 for Bristlenose

thanks guys
no bristles though guys, on one hand i'm pleased, but on the other, i have spent £15 on a BN!

a couple more pics that are clearer.

for the time being he's in a bowl in the kitchen.

Defiantly a bn. How big is it? If its 3"+ i would say its a female so wont get many bristles if any.

Thats only a tiddler by the looks; can't be much more than 2" ?
Agree its most likely female

its about 2" at the min, it does make me feel better now i know its a BN! I'm at work tomorrow and wouldn't get to take it back. I'm still a bit peeved at the price tag! I might get a male to keep her company now.

thanks peeps.

At 2" it could still be a male. You will be able to tell for sure at about 3". Thats is quite a bit for a BN around here they cost £5-8 so quite a bit less.

Thats a much better picture! £15 is expensive for a BN or a clown. I paid £5 each for my two clowns!

the clowns were £15 each in Maidenheads, there was also a red BN foe £11 which looked really nice, i should have just bought one of them. I will be saying something next time i'm in there.

£11 for red BNs I would snap up the lot evan if you end up selling them on they go for alot more than that on ebay.

i know i should have bought a couple of those! I'll be going back there friday, so i'll see if theres any left.

There defiantly worth getting if you can. Maybe try getting 4-5 and then you should get a pair.

I think he will probably mean calico BN's not actually RED (super red) maidenhead usually sell calico's quite often, for calico's £11 is still a tad expensive but they are quite nicely coloured.
