	Shellie help, L1, L2?
Dempsey fan Mega Fish Posts: 915 Kudos: 201 Votes: 3 Registered: 02-Aug-2000	I want to purchase some Multis for my eclipse 12 but I'm confused by the term L1 and L2. My LFS has both but when I asked the guy there what it meant he didn't know. My guess is that L1 is wild caught and L2 is domestic? I'm probably wrong so can someone fill me in?

So say you get a male and female wild caught guppy, these are your F0s, their fry will be F1s, etc.
