I'm with you...

From a novice hypan ID'er Id say the 66's look more like brown 333's.
Then to really get started... the male 333 looks more like a lower xingu and the female looks like a black/white version 333...

Oh the fun of Hypans! :wb:

Pseudas anyone?:thumbup:

I got the 66s from Pier last Febuary, it is the lighting on the tank that makes them look brown.
It was the same time a few from PF went to Pier, even got Neil to sex them for me and he turned out spot on.

Had the L333 for a couple of years, i did sell them on for a year to another Scottish fishkeeper, but got them back, and the male did look simular to the female when i got them, just found he has gotten a lot drabber with age, whereas the female has stayed stripey.
He is still stripy in the right light, but it's not often he's out of his cave, he's usually hatching fry.
I got them from Wholesale Tropicals (delivered), two males and one female, they were meant to be the other way around, and the other male looked identical to this one, though i don't have him anymore.
All the fry are black and white.

Some pictures of their fry;

Thanks for the comments :D

What the male spends most of his life doing, if only my other hypancistrus were as prolific as this pair.
I can get up to 30 fry from a breeding.



There is two or three broods in the tub.
