Just confirming

[BluE SnipeR]

Bought a few of these guys as L066.
Some pics.

Also got some L129 for Id as well.

Are they still too young to sex?

Cheers.

i.d's look right to me mate, the hypan perverts will know for sure and will let you know soon enough.
very pretty fish though

 

[st24rsap]

look like young L066 to me, very nice pattern and colouration on them nice pick up

 

[Oscar300]

Very nice markings, I gave up ID'ing hypans years ago lol.

 

[Irene0100]

hard to id for sure till adult, they are very confusing!

 

[BluE SnipeR]

Cheers guys, I can grow them up now.:thumbup:

Deffinately 66's but i dont think what you have there is 129 they look more to me like either 333 or 270's?
L270 http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=232
L333 http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=1024
Are you able to get a better pic?
EDIT: possibly to young to id correctly.

 

[BluE SnipeR]

Thanks Rabbit.

I somehow knew this was gonna happen because it didnt look like some L129 that I have seen on the net.

Will get a better pic up soon so we can have a closer look at the fish.

Cheers.

i didnt even look at the last pics lol, look very similar to my L270's

Not sure 66 or 129 is correct for either ID Sniper.

The first lot maybe 66 but a little small to tell for sure. The do have the body of 66 though.

As for the 129,s then the stripes look to thick for 129 and I cant see any spots which is also a trait with 129. More likely to be 270 but as Irene said until they are adults most hypans are very confusing.

It is very confusing as I have L066s from a few different bloodlines and they all look slightly different.
Hopefully these pics are better.
L066 with flash.

L066 no flash.

Stressed out L129.

Relaxed L129.

Cheers.

 

[thegeeman]

lol I have looked at these pics loads today and I am still not sure the first ones are 66. As for the 129,s I am pretty confident they are L270 or young L333.

Cheers

first fish is a young king tiger 066
other could be 333 270

 

[BluE SnipeR]

Thanks guys, looks like the 129s will have to grow a bit before I get them id'd again.

Cheers.

 

[BluE SnipeR]

OK guys after doing some research I think the 129s are in fact 270s

I was thinking maybe they could be 333s but the largest fish which is only 10cm TL is showing typical breeding behavior and already showing some body hair, females are also starting to look more gravid and the fact they are almost 3 years old.
A spawn at this size should confirm they are 270s.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction guys.

More pics coming.

 

[Rabbit]

First 2 are 66's 3rd no idea (possibly sub-adult 333) 4th appears to be 270.

 

[BluE SnipeR]

Sorry for all the confusion guys. I originally bought the 270s as 129s, but now that they have all settled into their tanks, I think I figured out what is what.

In the end only one of them turned out to be a 129, which is in the last photo.

Interested to know what others think.

Very hard comparo but could be 307 (270) or 129's - check the links.
