Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003  | Peckoltia vittata used to be the species sold as "Clown Pleco", but they have since been replaced. Hence, you will sometimes here dealers refer to Panaque maccus as Peckoltia vittata.  I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash. |

| Cup_of_Lifenoodles Fish Guru Posts: 2755 Kudos: 1957 Votes: 30 Registered: 09-Sep-2004 | Yeah. From what I've gathered, Aus has been getting in several panaqolus/peckoltia species as misidentified L-168. The actual zonancistrus in question is, oddly enough, still quite rare. Hopefully, you'll get lucky and one of these shipments will contain L-204, the "plec to get" down under, as of now. |

| Patchy Enthusiast Posts: 224 Kudos: 195 Votes: 0 Registered: 25-Sep-2005 | Apparently they plan to bring l#'s that look similar to L104's under L104...plus with L104 off the illegal list it wont be long before some of the other nice looking dwarf species are avaible at decent prices |
