Sailfin Plec

[Wizzard~Of~Ozz]

Ok, I have a Sailfin Plec, I know he is (excellent temperment, except he hates my plants, particularly anubias nana, the one behind his tail is uprooted )

Could anyone tell me the L Number of this one? I can't find a good picture of a red sailfin and I think because of the colour in his tail and sail that he may be.

any help is appreciated finding out what kind of gibby this is.

I'm guessing L083,at least according to: http://planetcatfish.com/core/index.php

Hmm, I've checked planet catfish and they have the same pictures for all the varients of gibbiceps..

Formerly known as: Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps.

Also known as: L083a, L083b, L083c, L083d, L164, and L196.

L196 and L083 have the same pics on planet catfish., there is no picture for L164

He's very lovely, but I don't do L numbers

 

[Wizzard~Of~Ozz]

I think I found him.

PTERYGOPLICTHYS MULTIRADIATUS

Picture in link looks right. and it's a minor colour variation to the L083, so you are right

He swims very gracefully with the lights out, keep meaning to make some moon lights so I can see him swimming around better(8 Blue LED's for 3 Watts of light can be made for less then 20$)

You'ld never know he was graceful by the uprooted plants I get (tho they seem to be stayin down now *touch wood*
