Name That L Numbers Pleco Please.

[Liam2368]

can anybody identify this pleco it was sold to me as a l75 para plec but I'm 95% sure it's not, any help?

 

[Liam2368]

I know it's either a panaque or Peckoltia just not sure which one.

 

[Wills]

No its not a 75 - did you get this from MA in Beverley? I saw them a while ago and thought they were labeled wrong....

I think its a Peckoltia but I dont know enough about plecs to ID it.

 

[Liam2368]

Yeah I did, i bought it on a wiff really I was looking for plecs and had seen these labelled up at £50 for months then noticed they was £10 so snapped one up not really knowing that much about paras just going off there word really, Not to worry it will still fit in the set up and won't get too big, moral of the story... no more impulse buys.

Agree it's Peckoltia, not sure which one though there are a few that look similar, braueri even crossed my mind.

As you said, it is certainly not sabaji (Para)

 

[simonas]

Im glad you didnt pay £50 for it is it the clown plec thats always for sale and is a peeckoltia I believe?

 

[Liam2368]

I'm thinking maybe lda19?

 

[xingumike]

I'm thinking maybe lda19?

Typo surely? Hypan??

 

[Liam2368]

lda19/l340 its got plenty of personality and is out all times of the day, ill post a underside shot in a minute.

 

[Liam2368]

 

[xingumike]

I thought you said you knew it was either a Panaque or Peckoltia?

Why do you now think Hypancistrus?

 

[Liam2368]

just looking at the pictures of the lda19 it looks very very similar.

 

[xingumike]

Very much doubt it.

340's are tiny, what size is yours?

 

[Liam2368]

I know there quite small and bulky mine is probably just over 3 inch.

 

[xingumike]

Can't see it, pretty sure it is Peckoltia
