Ooh, learn something new. I only know L174 got "mimic". Didn't know L400 also got "mimic".

A true L174 has very small eyes, you can't escape.
Body is also more stout and less elongated. L174 also remains the smallest hypan to date i believe, max at around 3". you seldom see a past 3" full grown fish actually. 3" L174 is like a 4" L46 Here is a pic. looks like hamster

Hi all hypan shifus, im totally new to pleco keeping and have aquired a group of four L201 about 2inch in size. They seem to be eating the food i give before i go to sleep as the food will disappear the next day and theres alot of waste produce in the tank. However im finding it difficult to observe them feed, even in super dim light they do not want to come out. Seems like they only come out in complete darkness. Is there a way to coax them out? Or do i jus have to be patient and wait longer. I have kept them for about a month.
Another question is are these true L201 or H. Contradens? Last edited by johannes; 26-07-2015 at 12:24 AM. |

This looks interesting but it seems off to be sp "mimic".
