L136C","description":"\u003c!-- ============================================================\n     CRITICAL MASS AQUATICS - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION\n     Species: Hypancistrus sp. (L136c)\n\n     HOW TO USE:\n     1. Products → your product → Description → click \u003c\u003e (HTML mode)\n     2. Paste everything below this comment block\n     3. Update Breeding Status value as status changes\n        Common values: \"Available Now\" | \"Growing Out - Join the Waitlist\"\n        | \"Waitlist Only\" | \"Not Currently Breeding\"\n\n     NOTES:\n     - Undescribed species (L-number, not a binomial) - this is the\n       equivalent of the CW-number layout, not the Sewellia\/described-\n       species layout used for the corydoradine listings. No author\/year\n       to credit in the species line since an L-number isn't a formal\n       description, so that line is labeled differently - adjust if your\n       CW-number template handles this some other way.\n     - CORRECTION FROM JENNIFER: drop \"cf. margaritatus\" - it's not\n       established usage for this fish, it's this hobbyist site's own\n       reach, and I shouldn't have made it the primary name. This is\n       Hypancistrus sp. (L136c), full stop, everywhere below now.\n     - No IUCN or FishBase block: neither has an entry for L136c, since\n       it's undescribed - no binomial, nothing to assess or catalog.\n     - Dropped the IG BSSW resource block too, since its entire premise\n       was the margaritatus comparison. Resources runs on PlanetCatfish\n       and ScotCat only now - both solid, both use plain L136c\/L136\n       naming.\n     - CORRECTION FROM JENNIFER: the breeders are NOT for sale, and she\n       bred these herself - it's not just \"acquired from Marcel\n       Wuethrich,\" it's her own breeding work out of stock that traces\n       to him. Paragraph 3 now opens with \"Bred here\" to say that\n       plainly, and no longer calls the offspring \"juveniles.\"\n     - No age\/size language in the story on purpose now: Jennifer wants\n       this listing reusable across restocks without rewriting it every\n       time the batch is a different size. \"Juveniles\" is gone from the\n       visible copy entirely - that's what Breeding Status and the\n       product's own size\/variant fields are for, not the story text.\n       Paragraph 1's \"~3.5 inches at full size\" is adult max size as\n       species background, not a claim about current stock, so it's\n       fine to leave as-is.\n     - Provenance: the PARENTS were acquired as breeding stock from\n       Marcel Wuethrich (Roseline17). Checked - he's a real, established\n       hobbyist breeder (ANGFA-NA bio, active on AquaBid with 400+\n       transactions) and specifically named in hobbyist forums as a\n       go-to source for L136c.\n     - CARES status: I couldn't confirm one way or the other whether\n       L136c or margaritatus carries a CARES priority listing - didn't\n       want to assert \"No CARES listing\" without checking properly the\n       way I could for the described species. Add a line if you know it\n       carries one.\n     - Photos note: paragraph 3 assumes photos show the actual fish for\n       sale, not the parent group and not stock images. Adjust if not\n       accurate.\n     ============================================================ --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- 1.

L136 comes in three recognized color forms: L136a (also LDA05) carries the smallest, most numerous spots; L136b (LDA06) sits in the middle; L136c runs the fewest, largest spots, sometimes not even circular, and has always been the scarcer of the three. Sold in the trade as the Demini Angelicus Pleco. Runs to about three and a half inches at full size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: 'Jost',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5px; line-height: 1.8; color: #1e2d45; margin: 0 0 13px 0 !important;\"\u003eStill fully undescribed - there's no species name to give you, just the L-number. L136 first appeared in DATZ in August 1993 out of the Rio Demini system, with all three color forms noted from the start. The C pattern has stayed the scarcer of the three ever since, and clean individuals with genuinely large, well-defined spots are worth more than the fine-spotted A form most of the trade actually moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: 'Jost',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5px; line-height: 1.8; color: #1e2d45; margin: 0 !important;\"\u003eBred here out of a breeding group acquired from Marcel Wuethrich, a longtime hobbyist breeder recognized in the L136c community specifically for working with this line.
