Thank you. I forgot to snap an unboxing picture.
It was interesting to see the one new comer with just a slightly different pattern on it. We had talked about the listing at Imperial as being “Import-Columbia” and it was wild caught.
After we had talked about it, I was just looking at stuff online and found this general article: https://www.tfhdigital.com/tfh/jan_...cle.action?articleId=1267012#articleId1267012
In it it has a P. tankei, the tiger Panaqolus that reminded me a bit of your new guy
Was just a thought...

I saw this article earlier today but didn’t give it much attention. It could be the L398 but it will have to grow a bit to determine. I’m going to try to get some better pictures and return to that article for a more attentive read.

Here are the 3 little clowns we are discussing
I have more pictures from this evening but I will have to sort out who’s who. I’m calling them J1, J2, and J3 where J=juvenile. Juvenile, I know but I’m kinda simple.

After conferring with some more knowledgeable than me on planet catfish it is possible that I received an L448/LDA 67 which do originate from Columbia.
J1 and 3 are L104, J2 being a possible LDA 67. The difference is the lines on the face of J2. Not sure if these will cross.

Just finished a 2 week "dry season" with temp up around 88F. Did their water change and dropped the temp down to upper 70's. Hope this inspires some action.
Fishes are funny like that...

I was out of town for 3 weeks and a large severum in the same system died tainting the water. I spoke with the house sitter and she said that the dead fish was removed the same day it died. It caused a cascade of death in the rack system.
@fishguy1978, do you think you will try another group of these or a different small pleco type?
