Aqualog uses both L# and LDA#.
The baryancistrus demantoides is the high fin variety. It can be identified by from all other ancistrus species by the dorsal and adipose fins being connected by the dorsal-fin membrane.
The "L Number" system began when two German magazines began featuring newly discovered Loricariids in their magazines. Since these species were not yet described to science, the magazines began assigning them "L numbers". The German magazine "DATZ" (Die Aquarien und Terrarienzeitschrift) started with the designation L1 for the Loricariid which has now been described as Glyptopterichthys joselimaianus. So now L1 is retired. Another German magazine "Das Aquarium", also began to run a similar feature in its magazine and labeled the fishes as LDA followed by a number. At the time of writing, the DATZ L system is somewhere above L370 and the LDA system is above LDA 70 - neither show signs of slowing. This numbering system has caught on and new species of Corydoras are now being assigned "C Numbers".CHOMPERS;550540;550540 said:Somebody fill me in on "L200". I gather it is a catalogue number for a fish...but ummm...what does it mean. And if someone says L058, how am I suppose to make heads or tails of it? Oh and there are noobs here just like me
Finally, along came the Aqualog series of books and they published a book with all the known L numbers with photos or drawings of each fish. This makes things a lot easier since not all of us, in America or the UK, have access to back issues of German aquarium magazines. There are apparently some problems though because not all of the photos in the Aqualog book match the species in the photos that ran in the original magazines. So sometimes it is necessary to note where you L number is coming from (magazine or book).
THANKS MAN! NO WONDER NOTHING HAS HAPPENED!Dr Joe;550280;550280 said:Can't beat basics can you...good job. maybe some contact paper would help if your tired of ghetto. (yeah, that's it trailer trash instead of ghetto)
Oh, by the way, in reference to your L200 breeding project, it's in jepardy of failure.. It takes 2 to tango...

I actually recieved my shipment of 5 new L200s, and they are monsters! Click the link above this post to see the new ones, as well as some of the previous L200s in this project.
Hijacking here, but I have a quick question that's not come up recently on PF.
Has aqualog been allowed to use DATZ's photos?
I was under the impression that DATZ held the rights to use photo's used to show L#'s that they assign and therefore aqualog had to find shots by other means, and sometimes using the wrong images. Is this accurate?

I don't think so... Aqualogs book references the DATZ book, and points out mistakes made by the datz books. Datz does hold the rights to the photos, but that doesn't mean they can't let someone use the pictures. This doesn't mean that the aqualog book didn't add some photos of their own, and I know that there are a few pictures that are incorrect. The copy I have seems to be for the most part, spot on.
