Leporacanthicus heterodon?

[matubula]

I saw this fella today at an LFS I dont visit too often but quite like. Labelled as 'Gold Heterodon', so I think they were pretty right. Im not too clued up on Lepos but I dont think it could be anything else.

Id say so mate:clap: He looks to have the trademark lip and teeth.

That pretty much sums up why I got him, I havent even seen one on any forum.

spot on with the id I had 1 a few years ago don't be surprised if he hides all the time from memory they are non too bold

Wow! amazing colours and pattern, great find :clap:

One of my locals has them at the moment for around £30 but oddly has them labbled as L172a's:hi:

Hi L172a was the old Aqua log listing.

At one time in early 2002 they were all over the place at about 2" and quite cute.

Selling at around £15:00 then for some reason they became like hens teeth.

A lovely fish and for a wild caught fish quite easy to keep.

Regards Bob

Cost much?

 

[matubula]

£35, which I thought was good price.

nice fish for £35, well for not being a royal anyway.
