I bought these L's as L080 but just does not seem to match the ID of PP or Back to Nature L-Catfish

Hope you can help - this is a video of the male with a spawn.

Male is about 6cm

the L080 is close to the l015 and your video and shot in cave is just not good enough. you will need to take better shots of the fish for ID. cheers jk :thumbup:

Hi,

To be honest they dont look like L080's more to a L015 or L202 but in saying that the video is still not that clear so still kinda hard to see, unless you take a few out into a container and video/photo a close up of them probably better.

If you look here :

These are a beautiful pair of L080

Also the one at 0.58sec should join the circus - went straight through the ring - haha

Thank you. That actually looks like them in the Youtube you put up. I have 202's n 015's and they are definitely not them. It was just mainly when you look at the images in the book and on Planet Catfish it did not look like some - mind you they all look a little different from each other.

l080 and l015 are often mixed up when smaller.The difference is obvious when they get bigger. They are more likely L080 not L15. But who could really be sure. I read somewhere they are in abundance in Brazil and substituted for L15. The pattern changes as they get older. There is a thread on PC somewhere

look at the difference in the stripes as they get older
(I have both BTW)

Thank you. Very surprised at them spawning at such a small size. At 7cm and generous at that. The L015 are a lot lot bigger and only just starting to show signs.
