Panaqolus maccus

[Lorifan]

Hi everyone!

I hope you can confirm what I think they are,Panaqolus maccus, they were sold as P.vittata!!

I keep them in a 180L tank with 8 lemon tetra and some caridina shrimps, plus a lot of wood!
They are always hidden, this is terribly hard to take a good pic, here are two pics I managed to do !

Tell me watcha think!!!

definitely look like maccus to me, its amazing how many times these get sold as L015

lol don't hold your breath, they take forever

 

[scatz]

they are tiny things anyway, even when fully grown

 

[Lorifan]

really? do they take a long time for growing?

 

[bigbird]

they are slower growing than most plecos. feed them well and give them good water conditions and extra air. merci jan :thumbup:
