KrazyGeoff Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 I think they are both the same species. What makes you think they are different? Do you have a side on picture? Cheers Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickey_1975 Posted February 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 They could be the same but taken from different locations. The first one has white underbelly, longer sharper fins, bigger spots on head. The second one is a lot darker even when under stress in a bag.

KrazyGeoff Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 They have the same teeth, yes? So really you are asking which of the snowballs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickey_1975 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 I bought them as snowballs.first One from Hollywood and the other from henwood, a private collector. They do have the same mouth so maybe they are the same species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyGeoff Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Yes they are both Baryancistrus sp. L142 I was delaying because I was seeing a stresses L201 in a bag yesterday. Both types do look very similar when stressed in the bag, but the mouth is quite different. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
