Kaytania Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 I just picked up a L235 pleco and I was wondering if anyone had any pics of them at about 1.5-2" the only pics i've found are of 2.5" and bigger and look nothing like mine.

Kaytania Posted April 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 identified it. The LPS mis-identified it. It is a L239 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birger Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 If it is the L239 or common name Blue Panaque(not actually a panaque), they are very shy and may not do so good with the convicts, if I remember right it is a blackwater fish and most likely needs this to do well especially to bring out its coloration. Where did you pick yours up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 (edited) Loricariidae :: Ancistrinae sp. (L239) / Scientific Name Ancistrinae sp. (L239) Common Name Blue Panaque, L239 Notes on ID The pictures here show the range of colour this fish can exhibit. Typically it is dull charcoal black with a tinge of blue. The fish appears to belong to an undescribed genus characterised by the fused dorsal and adipose fins. Habitat Information / Distribution Upper Orinoco, Venezuela References Not in Aqualog as L239, but Aqualog shows this fish labelled as L232. Further Information © 2005 planetcatfish.com.
