I have no clue why such a big wound comes up...at first it's just a bit reddish and swollen internally but then getting worse and ended up like this. I have tried myxazin together with antibiotics. The wound is bigger now :( but not as red as before...the eye over the wound side is swollened too ...

Here is the pic of my sick 46 Anyone know how to treat and which medicine I should use?

Please have a look and give me advice.

Dear all,
Does anyone know how to keep Hypancistrus sp. so as to prevent strips dispersing and the background white colour sharper? Please share :D
Here are my Hypan. Most of them have this kind of problem. So i wonder if there were some factors, for example pH of water, tank mate, no. of pleco ...

In fact i m not quite sure they are really 236 or not.

I got it in HK.
Yes, they came with no. L236.

Does anyone use bamboo shape active carbon as cave for pleco?
Just wonder it's safe for fishes and it's lifetime before replacement. Thanks!!!

Hi Arrior,

I don't think mine are the same as those you attached. For the first 2, definitely not......the 4th, the proportion of the head looks different.
The most probably is the 3rd....but the colouration seems different as well...so I don't think they are the same type.

I am horrible at pleco ID but could it be L-236?

And, if it were possible to cross your fish with a zebra, do you thing the result would be a checkered pleco? :twisted:

I think they are not L236, as 236 has a milky white colour ...

Thx Canadapleco and DanD!!! Yes, they are gorgeous even I don't know who they are!!!

Nice plec! I've seen one similar on line before a couple of times. Probably collected in a similar place as the L046 but I am guessing that a lot is unknown about it! Congrats on a stunning plec though! :P Where did you get it? 8)

Thx Discusbabe, I bought it in HK but I don't know where exactly ...
