That is a beauty of a mango freakdaddy! How big is he?? Also, put up a list, or a bunch of pics of your other plecs.
Still looking for a pos. ID on these Loricariidae. My best guess is Rineloricaria Parva or commonly known as whiptail cats/whiptail plecos. I have four of these now and hope to breed them. Not sure yet of the M to F ratio. Just got 3 of the 4 yesterday. They acclimated instantly and started to eat immediately after I released them into the tank. Colors vary a bit with each individual (light caramel to deep brown). The quad photo on the right shows different angles of the same fish. Photo on the left is one of my new ones. I have yet to get a pic of all of them together.
It is hard to say with these guys, there are so many differing species of them, and many look the same. The color will darken some as they age. Mine I've had for nearly 3.5 years and he went for 2.5" to 5" and has darkened considerably. Of couse they are subject to stress and their color does fade with stress.
If you can get shots of their mouths on the glass that might help identify them, or at least narrow it down some.
