Not the best shots and I freaked him out again by moving bogwood around to get his pic :wb: Hope you can tell by these if its the real deal or not. If not I can always catch him and put him in separate tank to photograph properly :dk:
L260 for sexing please
- Thread starter Joby
- Start date
rear fins are quite long in length... the males use these exclusively to move water over the eggs in very tight caves when their pec fins are pulled in tight to their bodies...More information

their proper name eludes me at the moment... but his leg fins.... lol....
MD...........i think
Another trait of MD is they seem to carry lots more stripes/squiggles that are tightly packed where as the queens are a lot more spaced out and not so busy looking
What with the patchy look aswell I think I will stick with MD
Cheers

I'm getting a male L260 from another source on Tuesday so will be able to see them close together to see the difference. I take it that it won't be good to keep them together in a group then :wb:
Interesting that i took some pics of a true QA today and it looks very simillar to yours Joby.
This fish is jet black with vivid white lines when settled in the tank.
Anyone want to confirm sex?
Cheers

I have collected the L260 today and they look exactly the same as the one in question so hopefully that means he is a 260 :dk:
Here are the new ones
Male L260
L260 Juvie
Here are the new ones
Male L260
L260 Juvie
if thats the case i'd say they are 260... the 411's are a big robust looking plec like a 12-14cm 333 male on roids... lol
Id certainly say yours was a QA joby, my MD looks like a poor imitation fish compared to yours, it isnt nearly as vivid.
I've now added him to my confirmed L260 male and juvie and there is no difference betwen them so am happy to say it is an L260 so just need to find a female for them now :wb:
Thank you for all your help :clap:
