Hey all anyone ever own or even seen an L095 pleco? Some dude I saw at my LFS called it a pineapple pleco. It was in an old fish magazine and not much info on it. I thought it really looked cool and the info sad it could hover in Mid water.
 
i think i knw wht ur sayin it has a weird body shape! i saw one before my lfs has one!

I thought the Pineapple pleco was a L152:popcorn:

yes.. l152 and L95 are the same speices.. but the name is oftentimes missused.. because they are so much similar..
L95 has another name.. Orange cheek pleco... but i think pineapple suits it better than L152


BTW.. Allan01230, The L95 is not often imported.. its on the banned pleco list... but sometimes they do pop up from vendors... i think rkc, Rich had one for sale sometime ago..

Hey Zero Just to let you know. L-114's are becoming available in shops and online. Leopard cactus pleco.

thx allan, ya.. i'm reconsidering snookns L114s.. cuz its' gonna be awhile for me to see those again.. I'm thinking of getting 1-2.. still not sure yet.. Since i dunno how long it takes for them to reach adulthood... possibility of breeding sometime down the road...

BTW.. u got any pics of ur L114s?
 
Got em on my cell phone but pics really suck. They take a few years to reach maturity. I have deal with snook before and he is an excellant vendor---very professional. I would get the L-114's because you will be glad when they become hard to find again. Just my 2 cents!
