99AWD Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Use the image to search google? Then you should be able to open the sites hosting the image if they're similar. Hope that helps because I have NFI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L333 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) local variant of L134 from the Rio Jamanxim, with a fine spot pattern. I looked it up in my Back to nature guide to L-Catfish book Edited July 10, 2013 by L333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny@ageofaquariums Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 hypostomus plecostomus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yodapwnsasmurf Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 hypostomus plecostomus? That's what I originally thought too but the pattern on the dorsal suggests otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tech Den Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Can't help on that one - looks a bit of this and a bit of that and dorsal fin is weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPete86 Posted July 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 I've never seen any leopard frog like this L333 & I've seen quite a few. 1 mate bred a couple variants yrs ago & Antho, a mate down here breeds the standard leopard frogs (orangey colour with black stripes). The body shape & dorsal doesn't lend itself to L134. The dorsal shape & slender tail & caudal fin look in shape like 168 (Butterfly) but the spots & patterning has me buggered. I think Techy may be right, may be a bitsa. How do I do the google image thing [MENTION=9562]t.p[/MENTION]? I'll have a go at that tomorrow (today now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99AWD Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 How do I do the google image thing [MENTION=9562]t.p[/MENTION]? I'll have a go at that tomorrow (today now) Do you ever sleep? Here's a screenshot.. Head to google and where you see the camera icon, click it and you can 'upload' your pic and it uses that to search for similar images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99AWD Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Ah, I can relate. I used to work night shift and I'm still a bit of an insomniac. No trouble at all hope it works for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPete86 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Thx very much for all the help everyone but after rattling my brain, spendin time on google with this pic & a few others Luke took yesty, I've succumbed to defeat. It's either a really cool colour mutation of one of the more 'delicate' lookin Ls like 168s (slender body & tail, small caudal fin) or its a bitsa. I'm thinkin it's a bitsa, maybe a cross between L066 king tiger (going by patterning, colouring) & a smaller plec I dunno. Thanks everyone for the help, I'll see what else he comes across that confuses me lol & we'll do this again sometime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
