Lemon Bristle Nose Plec

[Junior Gent]

Hi All

I wanted a friend for Colin my Bristle nose plec, ive shopped around to see if there are any other varieties of bristle nose in my LFS. I stumbled across what was labelled as a "Lemon Bristle Nose Plec (Black Eyed)", the LFS i got it from does like to play around with names especially if they have Betta's, ive recently seen "Short Finned Delta Siamese Fighting Fish" of Plakat Betta to other LFS. So i were wondering if the BN was named correctly. It is bright yellow and has got black eyes like suggested, which im guessing is to distinguish it from an Albino. In any case i couldnt resist and he sits lovely in my tank, im so glad i stumbled over him, i thought £4.99 was pretty reasonable even though he's no larger than 2 centremetres from nose to tail.

Thanks JG

They are commonly traded as L144's. (false)

Lol... They are what you asked about.

Pardon me if I'm being dumb here but why do you call a fish a "L144" I mean I really have never understood why people change their name to numbers..









:stupid:

Lemon BN's are sought after fish and usually carry a nice premium. You did very well for £4.99

L004, L101, L099 etc

Are called L-numbers, they are individual catalog code's used to define different Catfish and Plecos.

If you go to planetcatfish you can take a look at the ridiculous amount of species recorded.
