I still think that the "pretty pecklotias" are indeed panaque maccus. After looking at everyone else's fish and then after getting some myself, looking at the juvi colours and pattern, teeth, mouth etc. I am even more certain of it.
nah. its the pigment. the amount of melanin being produced is exactly the same, so in a small fish it appears to be a small dot that is dark. as the fish ages and grows larger the amount of melanin produced is the same and as the cells push further apart to make room for more cells - it appears as the dot has faded.
what it is in reality is hundreds of thousands of cells in a group that contain the pigment.
This is one of them today. They eat well and are happy as can be. there is a marked improvement in the body shape, and they are now fatter too. What say you?
