Lithium diisopropylamide?

LDA?

I know what LXXX's are. I'm assuming LDA isnt lithium diisopropylamide?

Same sort of thing, different numbers, from another magazine, 'Das Aquarium' .

L-number

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The L-number system is a semi-scientific classification system of catfish based on photographs of shipments of tropical catfish of the family Loricariidae published by the aquarium magazine DATZ (Die Aquarien und Terrarienzeitschrift).

An L-number is not an official scientific name, but it does allow people to identify various Loricariid catfish by a "common name" before the fish is actually officially described. When a Loricariid receives an official scientific name, the L-number is retired.

Baryancistrus L-18 is also described as L-85.In general a specific L-number classification does not guarantee a discrete species—multiple L numbers have been given to different populations of the same species.

Additionally the aquarium magazine 'Das Aquarium' introduced a similar system using the prefix 'LDA'.

Thanks Rob . That makes more sense. Odd that they just didnt continue to use the L system.

Are you starting to get an interest in the whiskered ones by any chance?

Warning they can be intriguing

Hi Matt -

Just curiousity I'm afraid . I do have a little Corydoras fetish, but it's under control .
