[barmby]

l333.............. :)

[Savant]

Looks very much like a L333 indeed...

[barmby]

thank you guys. I didn't know L333 fights very well until this fella comes along :)

[SilverDub]

I think its 333, not 66 as the head and tail shape isn't right. Lovely fish.

[Mr.XPlecos]

is it possible to put it in a tau huay tub against a white backing and take pic? this way we can see the base colour of the fish whet is it yellowish or white.

I've kept an L333 before, and it doesn't seem to have so much body markings.

old pic, sorry if the quality is poor

SilverDub, Thanks for the attention. I brought this fish out recently at the aquarama for competition.

Mr.XPlecos, yours does look like a L66 to me. am I wrong.. ? Hmm

[Mr.XPlecos]

hmm i bought it from C328 as L333... it was like 2 yrs ago.. cant find anymore pics of it.

[SilverDub]

No trouble Barmby, it looks like a differant fish.

I have been looking at the original picture, the angle of the head and the caudal fin is puzzling me a little. Its definately not 66, but I'm not totally sure its 333 variant.

The second image to me looks like a black & white L333, nice whiskers. What did the judges (Ingo I think he was there?) mark it as?

Quite often the fishes were labelled incorrectly. Not LFSs fault but it all goes as far as the upper supply chain. Same problem with Apistogramma.

I am not sure. However, it gives me much confidence between myself and the fish. It is just like bringing your car to track, and you get to discover and understand the limit.

My fish is old. Doubt it can help you. Kinda have more attachment to the fish after the aquarama.

Haha! you overheard the conversation huh...

[barmby]

Johannes is right about the sexing. L333 spawned with the sole female. She is small. Therefore, I didn't bring her to competition. Click (http://www.plecoclub.org/forum/showthread.php?p=10870#post10870)
