Site / Distribution: Location of this variation is not known.Had bought it from a breeder of individual animals led to other copies.Meanwhile, the breeding is done and protect the business for now.

Introduction: No

Summary: The animals shown here were sold as L 236 and offspring have been circulated under this ID.Very few animals were originally imported.The assignment to L 236 and was subsequently is doubtful.The reference to the Catfish Atlas shown, very similar animal ranges, in my eyes is not enough.The animals can also be assigned to any other variant.

Features / variability: juveniles of this variant, a creamy white body coloration in the area of the nuchal ligament ocher colored.Otherwise dominated by a rough irregular banding, which is oriented from head to tail.In adult animals reverses the color.A brownish-black body color is interrupted by irregular thin lines.Schreck in coloration occurs solarization on the drawing.The animals remain relatively small with 12 cm.Body shape is short and stocky with a superb Beflossung that is often stretched sail shape.The caudal lobe are extended but not stretched far.The most attractive way to retain its attractive design as they age and not turn gray, like many other animals of the species.To make a separation L 333 can easily be defined by the body shape.The animals are elongated and flat.The head is longer and much more pointed tapering.

Special: This variant is very rare and highly sought after due to the high attractiveness.Although an association with L 236 is certainly wrong, is understandable why such beautiful animals were sold under that name.Especially young animals in your drawing remind us of the famous pictures of L 236, even if the body color is not true.It is hoped that the wrong name has not resulted in a mixture with other "L 236".
