Wanted to post some more/better pics of the L-048 I got from Snookn21 last week. He has finally started coming out and is eating good. Very awsome fish at around 10". Now if only the Goldy would do the same.

I ordered the L-14 from snookn 3 weeks ago.. and he's eating first 2-3 weeks.. but now i find my L14 to be going some weird behavior.. dont see it eating as much.. although it is still active... I agree with charles.. check and double check the plecos.. they are stressed i think.. but dam.. very nice L-48.. wish i can get them together...
 
Water is mint and they are residing in my 240 gallon. The stomach is a little sunken in as he did not eat for the first 2-3 days and being wild caugth it will take him some time to recover, plus I am sure shipping was not too kind on a 10" fish. The Goldy started eathing the first day but this guy took a little longer. We will see how they do in the coming week.

I got the L-14 from Snookn as well. Both were on the same order/shipment.

ah nice.. ya.. both our L-14 came from the same batch.. nice.. love to see pics of both L-14 and L-48 together..
 
The Goldy (L-14) stays behind a pot all the time. He eats like crazy, just will not come out. I will get some pics of him as soon as he start to wander.
 
Wanted to post an update. I dediced to treat the 240 for the potential of parasites from the wild caught L-014 and L-048 due to some of my other fish breathing heavy. I treated the tank with QuickCure and then a round of 2x Metronidazole and then did a 25% water change. What a difference. Tonight the L-048 was aggressivly eating food and fighting off my cichlids when they got too close. The goldy is still shy but has been eating since day 1. Some pic below.

As a bonus I finally got a couple of quick shots of my synodontis multipunctatus. Note a pleco I know but wanted to show him off since I for the first time got it to hold still for a pic.
