i have been interested in vampire plecos for some time, but I could never justify the $70+ price tag that the local fish specialty store has them at. Well yesterday I went to Petco and they had a pleco for sale labeled vampire pleco. It had some spots but they weren’t very pronounced, and only seemingly on the front of the fish near the head region. The fish seems lighter blue/gray in color. The sucker pad is much larger than I have seen on my chocolate and royal plecos, and the front of the pad seems to terminate into jagged barbels. The fish is about 3 inches in length. Will it get blacker with yellow spots or is this some other kind of pleco?
