This afternoon, I finally recieved my pair of L-316, so, naturally, massive relocation ensued. I took the L-262 out of the ten gallon where the two Rio Jari zebras were to be housed, a took the L-333 out of the twenty long downstairs and replaced it with 6 of the largest albino ancistrus fry from a recent spawn and the L-262. Next, I moved the 3 ancistrus hoplogenys/dolichopterus out of the twenty downstairs and in with the king tiger pair. Everyone seems to be settling quite well, and hopefully, I'll be getting little L-316s soon.

Well, I did take a shot of the ten gallon:

Excuse the glare and the reflection of my sleepwear.

Here's the male L-316 at 4". He's HUGE.

L-183. Least photogenic fish ever.

Very nice. How large are the new ones?

I think it's safe to say that you're officially obsessed with Hypancistrus. Nice fish, to be sure.

Nice looking CoL. You said you just received them. Did you order them from an on-line source or did you get them through a local LFS?

I'm going to be in the market soon for a new tank I'm setting up and was curious where you got them.

The male is at 4" and the female just a bit less. Purchased from aquabid and shipped from exoticfinds.net.
