L-600

He looks just like my L114, are they related? (I should know that and dont').
I wouldn't dare put a fish I cared about in with my turtle-he'd snap them up and swallow faster than I could grab him up out of there!

Love the turtle too. What kind is it? Where'd you get it? What other fish do you have with the turtle and L-600 (and where'd you get the L-600?).
And what's the orange stuff floating around- remants or carrot or sweat potato?

They are pretty much the same, I think L600 have different sized spots on the head, both are Pseudacanthicus leopardus. L600 isnt an officially recognised L number, I think it was first used by exporters to bump up the price on different L114.
From the Shane's World article on breeding L114/600
http://www.planetcatfish.com/shanes...e=Breeding+<em>Pseudacanthicus+leopardus</em>
After about a year in the tank, the L114 still preferred to hide during day time while the L600 became way more visible and started interacting with other fish in the open. We have heard comments to the effect that the L600 type will lose the full orange tail band as they grow up but this didn't happen to any of our fish. The fish kept and still have to-date, the same markings they had when they were purchased.
It's worth noting that in addition to the differences in the markings of the tail there are some further differences in the appearance of the fish. The individuals classified as L114 have more "refined" looks and either grow more slowly than the L600s or have a smaller TL size. The individuals classified as L600 are on the main a broader, much more robust fish by comparison, and they bear a striking resemblance to Pseudacanthicus spinosus (L160) in all but the colour.

The turtle only eats Royal plecos
No it does not bother with fish and this is only a temp situation.Linus_Cello;3852574; said:
It is a Fly River Turtle.
I have a few fish in there for now 3xL-97.
The orange stuff is food.
