Hi,

i have a colony of 8 L204 for about 2 years and they are very territorial and agressive towards each other.
You should always get lots of hidding places for all of them, and you should be okay.

On the other hand, in two years of fighting i never see red in them, i think they have som kind of ...

Here's my alfa male in top condition

Sorry about that

Got a group of 8 L204, and by the experience i know they can be quite territorial and a brute machine of beating towards other L's and toward each other.
Its a must lots of hidding places.

Well in fact Yann`s fishes seems more a L250

those are mine L345 from Rio Pará

Hello,

it could be a L345, i will receive mine today so later will compare

Do you know were they were picked?

I have also a group of six in a 180L aquarium, but the one i shown are the biggest of the group

My suposed female never got hairs "she" been with me longer than my male, do you think shes really a female?

What is the trigger you use to breed the L134?

The more i look the more doubts come to me

Hope this helps, this is my couple


Female??


Male

Whats the size of them? do you have any side photos?

Thanks

Hello,

Hi, can you post the photos of yours L204 (male and female), their sizes, so i can compare with the ones i got

Thanks and good luck

Once you can see both fish in real life at a grown stage you will notice the difference in size, color and bodyshape.

Your completely right i just love my gang (8 of all sizes) of L204. Theres no doubt whos who

INXS - 204 and L-104 (panaque maccus) are distinctly different
IME L-204 gets bigger , more elongated, stronger contrast between the dark and light and appears slimmer then the panaque maccus which tends to look like a tadpole as it fattens up and matures. From pictures it can seem deceptive and ...

Hello,

in the matter size vs shape of lines i can assure that the only diference is that when the fish grows older the yellow straight lines become more narrow, and may disapear becoming small dots.

I've 8 from 6 inch to 1.5 inch and all have straigth lines none of them are from the same batch ...

They get there lyra tail very soon, i've got one who is about 5cm and already got the long end tail the problem is that outher fishes tend to see it as a worm and bitte it.

the one with the biggest fin, there size are bigger then my smallest L204

Looks like a L075

most of the photos in the cat-elog have the same patern as mine (i've got 8 L204)

Well we need a third or fourth opinion

I think this way is easy

all of the L204 look the same

bellow are a few of my L204

I think this excludes the L204 :wink:

Now about ...

Pandadosmares: What makes you say it's a L316 rather than L204?
Just look at the photos of the L204, besides the L129 got some yellow and the L316 is more on the grey/ light brown like the one in the photo

Hi,

Bellow a L204 from Peru

Got probably 3 females (2 are certain, now ) 1 is growing

Wil start preparing things for them in the weekend

please keep us informed.

Thanks

Sorry about that but
There's one doubt in my mind does both males and females have the same shaped caudal fins?

It was mentioned

some resin product

, can someone be more explicit

Thanks

Why do we put so much time and effort into trying to determine the sex of these catfish!
I don't think i have ever heard of a reported spawing of a panaqolus species YET.
Sorry to put a downer on the subject.
Has anyone had any luck or read this on the web anywhere?

Sorry to know you think ...
