i had a female before, lost her in a heat wave needless to say am not using the tank near the window again for these although its a good few feet away!

Brilliant. They look very nice and quite chunky. Keep us up to date

 

[Iiriva]

They're pretty!

 

[lilfishie]

Just ordered 4 slate caves for them, already have 4 so giving them a choice spoilt little things

 

[xingumike]

Nice, they look more like L168 in those pictures.

 

[lilfishie]

How can you tell the difference?, will give them a few days then get some more pics

 

[xingumike]

Generally speaking, 168 have stripes and 52 have more of a network pattern

 

[lilfishie]

are they not found in different areas in the wild? these are from Columbia

There the same as my old L52 well i thought she was L52

If they are from Colombia then it would indeed make them L52, my apologies.

 

[lilfishie]

no need for apologies Mike, I'd rather be certain of what they are than calling them something there not

Thanks for your help mate

 

[xingumike]

you did well anyways, they are much prettier with stripes imo

 

[lilfishie]

never seen an L168 and to be honest, google is no use as there the same pics on both
