[sakaspuds]

stunning !!

I totally think you are right Bunji!
I really think that I have a Big white spot!
I don't know if I am mad or excited?
I really don't think mine looks like a peppermint now
It looks like YOURS!

your spots are too big for a peppermint.

But the big spot is SO much more striking

very nice plec, i think it may be a LDA33 Snowball Baryancistrus.

I was considering getting me one of these. They were on the order list last week at the fish shop i work at.

Nice pleco, but he looks exactely like my room mates Galaxy/Vampire pleco which i see often at one of my lfs.

The LDA33 is the same as the L142, but I havent seen it referred to as a Snowball, perhaps this is where the shop got the name from!

i know you lot like to know what your fish is exactly but i'd be happy if new it didnt get to big and looked cool doesnt matter to me about the name

Ye sounds about right to me!!! The suppliers names are often diffirent from the more widely known common names like the L134 is a Leopard frog as we call it they say Tiger Peckoltia.

Very nice plec either way. I'ved spotted L260 Queen Aberesques on the stock list which are so on next weeks order!! The only bad thing about where i work is that we only do fortnightly orders so usually miss out on all the really good stuff!!

Dont take this the wrong way Paul, but every post I have seen you make recently seems to referr to the shop you work at or wether they are getting it in soon or whatever. And its really getting quite boring now.

Everyone KNOWS you work in a fish shop, you are very lucky to do so, but you dont have to advertise the fact in every single post.

Please take this as constructive criticism dude.

just where most my onfo comes from now

 

[bunjiweb]

Thats ok, use the info you get to kerb your own knowledge base so that you can speak from experience rather than saying "at my fish shop......." or whatever

just came across this.
Earthgirl that is most definatly NOT a peppermint! I cant see how you could mistake them
Peppermint have very small spots, and if you look closer actually have a different body shape.
Both of you have nice lookin fish!

Thanks Sam.
I know now that is not a peppermint.
I guess when you order from a lfs, you kinda expect to get what you order
I did research it, and I did go to planet catfish, I thought that it might have looked diff with the spots since mine was a baby.
Oh well, I am very happy with the big white spot, he is gorgoeus, whatever I thought he was!

 

[Earthgirl]

So is Bunji's and I would like to thank that little guy for pointing out that mine is the same as his

 

[samthefishman]

yeah deffinatly!! your fish both look amazing! better then any peppermint i have seen
