Great catfish to clean u your discus tank, they love munching on algae !

Heay Oz,
I'm not really much of a catfish person and don't really know the difference between L052 and L168 :oops: I bought these as L168's, but after doing a quick google on L052's they both look very similar ... now i'm confused LOL.
Cheers,
Dee. :)

L168 = stripes are more separated
L052 = stripes are connected / not as "stripey"
General consensus is that they are the same species, but different localities. L052 (orinocco basin) L168 (rio negro), these two systems are connected.
I would happily take them off your hands.... to bad your in melb :(

Heya Oz,
After doing a bit of research on the difference between L052/L168, I came up with the exact same explanation as what you just posted ... One explanation for the difference in markings was different coloured substrate in the 2 locality's, hence the different markings. But yeah most info implied same species for the two.
Thanks for the info mate, appreciate it :thumb
Cheers,
Dee :)
