[darboy]

hi guys, a local importer labeled this as L27 brazil longnose, would anyone happen to know what variant this is and how would you tell it is so? and would also like to ask the difference between L27 and L190 seems they are both royal panaques but would like to know what gives. thanks!!!

That fish is Panaque nigrolineatus aka L190, not any of the L027 varieties.

Here was my old post, if you keep reading and look at the pics, you can see the difference between L190 and L27 xingu.

Here is and example of L27. Hope it will help you differentiate L190 and L27. Maybe some other pleco lovers can post their L27's for more comparisson.

The main difference between the 2 is the number of zeros in the price

There are different variants of L27 depending on location of collection. The most sought after are the Xingu and Tocantins. The L27 have a light brown body with black stripes where the Tocantins have a yellow body and black stripes. The Tocantins is sometimes called 'super yellow royal' and is the most expensive of the L27 varieties.

The local importer who sold this said its the normal l27 i think l27a or e, and that there are l27's that are really expensive i think they are l27b and c, but this is the regular kind. He also sells l190s at around his size as well which is about 5.5inches. I think his supplier was the one who labelled this an l27 brazil longnose. Ill post some pics of my fish soon, thanks everyone!
