L46 - Hyprancistrus Zebra.
The L46 are going in with my L134 leopard frog. I am re-doing a corner tank just for these two types of fish. They look very good together.

I like the fine lines on your L-46. They are quite different from my group which have bolder lines. How big are these L-46 in the photos? Are these wild caught fish you aquired recently? I wonder if they are a variant zebra and if they'll morph into L-98 (a spotted variant of Hypancistrus zebra). I've owned a few Hypancistrus that started out striped and later the stripes slowly broke into spots.

those are 3". The lot I received are all like that. I do however received a lot of relatively thicker line fish but at only 2"-2.25".

I will keep updating on this. The group was with 2 people in town so I can always go see them. And I know at least one group already spawned recently.
