Kalo1993 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Just picked up this guy today from the lfs and am trying to get a correct i.d. the person at the store said it was a l222 but i think they meant l002? help would be much appreciated. ps. sorry for crappy iphone pics and the pleco was also in pretty bad shape from being in a tank full of africans.

garywant87 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Loks like a L397 but I am only going by what I've seen in tanks and online. Some one else who breeds catfish will probably know exactly what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsright99 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 How much did you pay for it? Its not a L002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalo1993 Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I have a few l397 juvies and they do look similar and it cost $40. the lfs said the bloke who traded it in said it was a l222 which i have never heard of nor is there any pics i could find online.

Lictoga Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) Fins say 397. Colours are all washed out on the body. Could be from stress Edited January 4, 2016 by Lictoga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAquaHolic001 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Looks like L397 though as Lictoga said his body is a bit washed out. Mabye let him settle down and then take a pic of him in his tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tech Den Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Tend to agree - more on the lines of 397. Give him some wood to settle with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalo1993 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Got a glimps of it tonight and its coloured up nicely, i couldn't get a pic due too lack of light but i compared it with my other l397's and im pretty certain thats what it is.
