Smudge - Possible Orange Spot - ID appreciated.

**MarkOrm**

He's been christened "Smudge". Anyway, I'll try and keep regular updates as with my L144 thread. Here's Smudge lurking tonight :

**Kurosaki J**

OOooo he'd look great in one of my black tanks, I love black fishes, especially Panaque cochlidon and
L239- Ancistrinae gen. sp aka blue fin panaque.
Your producing some real nice pics of your fish MarkOrm - great to see.
cheers

I'm a novice at this - but I'm sure he isn't a common or an orange spot. He's very dark. I'll get some more pictures up to try and help with ID.

Thanks guys - I really enjoy my fish and its nice to share them with other "geeks". L144 tomorrow. She's been growing like mad.

My 7D is here and once I've got to grips with it I should be able to bore you all to death with pictures.

There's 4 left at Trimar - they do fish by post. I can pop in tomorrow and take some photos - there's a larger male juve and three similar sized (to smudge) juves. Antlers all small but big enough to ID as male.

Now if you can enlighten me as to what a Manus is great Smile

one ov the first ones i ever had these but lost them to a stuck on heater. Crying or Very sad

not seen these about for 2 years and was going to get some more but the tank they were in was full of white spot so left them.
o sorry mate L148
if you can get a good side shot that would be good

I'll take some more pictures and it looks like we can add to the L148 section in the profiles. Awful to loose them like you did - heard so many horror stories so I've got my heater on a thermostat shut off so I won't boil my fish. Thanks for the ID.

Thanks guys - sorry for the lack of updates I've got a wife, four cats, 2 ducks, 2 dogs, 3 rabbits and work.

Anyway here's two more of smudge from the last couple of nights. He's starting to develope spots on his body now he's happy and destressed.

**deano**

that is one lovely bristlenose and the spots get better with age.

Thanks Deano - any ideas on an ID yet ?
