L236 - Hypancistrus sp. (L236)

Hypancistrus sp. (L236) is my favorite of all my collection; it has a white base coloration with black lines. L236 can be easily confused with L66 especially when they are young,
These fish I brought it as L236 from a hobbyist from Singapore a years ago, they were 2-2.5 inches when I had them. Their growth rate is amazing, now they have grown to 3.5-4 inches in total length within a year by just feeding them Hikari Sinking Pellet and once a week Hikari Carnival Pellet.
