One of the most beautiful L-numbers at all has obtained an official, valid name in 2013: Panaqolus albivermis. The species originates from Peru. We currently were able to import again a good number of wonderful young specimens of this small species of catfish (maximum length around 10 cm). Among them are also 5 spotted individuals. We have stocked these specimens under the name of L204a; however, they do not represent a different species. Even among captive bred specimens from wild collected, striped parents every now and then spotted youngsters appear.

 

For our customers: the fish have code 26480-L204-2 and code 26480-L204a-2 on our stock list. Please note that we exclusively supply the wholesale trade.
