Hey Alan, you're not upsetting anyone. It is normal here to discuss everything controversial. No offence on you or your intensions. I know sometimes we are a little bit to direct and biting if you're not used to it. ;-)
"They were exported under the L173 name but some of them look like L236 and/or L345. "
Like I said, most of them look great. No matter what they are.
And like Stefan said in the other thread: "guess even the most experienced L-catfish expert in Germany, Ingo Seidel, can't verify the correct L-number with these pictures. I want to say, no reliable identification, no L-number."
Sorry if I see bullheads where no bullheads are. The right one on L241044.jpg looks like it.
There is a lot of money involved in this illigal exports and everywhere where's a lot of money involved people... let's say it friendly... sometimes don't tell the hole truth. Especially in South Amerika...
My opinion is you can sell these fishes as Hyps sp. but the try to get them a L-number is an impossible mission. The only reason to get them a number is to get a higher price. Which is lawfull and normal. Again no offence.
Manuel
