New Hypan....L28???

[ani-mal-lvr]

Here is the lone survivor, of 5 fish that were shipped to me. (4 did not make the trip)

Any chance of an ID??? The seller was unsure as to wut they were. ( He got them as L007's) I think not.
Of the 5 fish 1 I know was a gold nugget. The others were just like this one.
So sad, livin in the dead zone. ( I never qualify for next day anything)

Here is a couple pics, just put in the tank. (after acclimatin of course)

I will try for better shotz after werk tonite.

Certainly looks like the anglicus pleco... Do you know where it came from (geographically)?

But the angelicus have L004, L005, L028, L073, dependant on where they come from.

L004 and L005 - Brazil: Rio Tocantins at Cametá (L005 is just the adult of L004)
L028 - Brazil : Guamá by Ourem
L073 - Brazil : Portel at the Rio Do Pará, Pará.

Thanks for the responses!!!

Davo, sorry no mouth shotz as yet. As of yet I have no info on the collection site. But I did ask in my email to him.

I am fairly certain that this is def. a Hypan of sorts. But this guy is certainly lookin like he is suffering from ammonia damage. Still Quarrantined and treating with Melafix/Pimafix cocktail atm. Color is all washed and blotchy atm (just got home from werk)

If he makes the night I will get new pics tommorrow.

Thank you, David

Got an import record? That would tell you what they were in a heartbeat, which cooresponds well, should they in fact be scobis, as even well seasoned fanatics have difficulty telling apart white-and-black spotties.

EDIT: didn't read your previous messge. My bad.

Sorry for the wait. Werks bin a pain lately.

I have no news on the collection site as yet. But I did manage to get a few shots of him.

Hope these help. Hopefully soon I will get an answer on where it was collected.

Thanks again everyone, David

Hypancistrus have two rows of teeth on each dental indent and two plates above. These seem to be teeth of a scobinancistrus species.
