ID the plec game

[hinchles]

Can you help ID this plec?

Baby

At first I thought Starlights but while sharing the spottyness nothing else matches

So far I've had L180,L325 and L100 suggested. Anyone got any better/other suggestions or confirmations?

 

[hinchles]

no suggestions?

L182?

 

[scatz]

i'd be leaning more towards L100 personally. does also look very similar to L213

they are its the male female and baby of the group... the male picture was taken with flash which is why you can't see his spots if you look closely they're there just washed out

not looked at 213 before will have a closer look

Hi all,

the other is a L255

I know it is pick a name with these black and white spotted Ancistrus, but the nose bristles on the male looks like L255 to me as well. <http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=705>

unfortunately deffo not a medusa either I know its a bad picture (go figure a plec hiding )

no where near wide enough around the head/gill area for a medusa also it has a white tip on the tail same as the female/baby.

my thought was perhaps the male is a hybrid of some description but still struggling to get the female/babies id as they don't seem to match any pictures on here or pc regarding the "common" black white spotted anc's
