Hi All.

Wonder if any of you could ID my new pleco?.
He looks like a young hypan to me, but with so many similar looking small pleco's on the market now it's a bit of a minefield for a novice keeper to get a positive ID on.

Sorry about the out of focus photos, but my camera just is not up to the job :(








Thanks for looking...Panzerwels...

There are many possibilities; it appears to be a hypan for sure. Is it wild or tank raised? I would lean toward L340 or L129. It could be a juvenile of one of stripey Xingu hypans though...

Thanks for the reply, I did think about both of those species and was leaning more to the L129 side of things, as I saw a photo at PC that was very similar to my fish.
I found him sitting on his own in a tank full of Sailfin Gibbicep, The LFS guy said the fish in that tank were not W/C.

Thanks again...Panzerwels...
