Just double checking

[Mizzle]

Hey people,

Just want to double check the guys at the pet store were right. They pulled this guy/gal out of the display tank and believed it to be a L134.
He/She is about 5cm maybe smaller.

Thanks

How come some 134's look like the one pictured and some have broken markings or blotches??? (like a giraffe, so to speak)

Younger ones tend to all start out like that. As they grow, on some, the bands break up. Also some from certain areas are more spotted as adults..

So when you say certain area, do you mean they are different strains???

I guess you could say that. Those highly spotted ones are typically thought to come from the Rio Jamanxim. Whether they are simply a strain of P. compta or a seperate species I am in no position to answer but they do breed true.
