Show your Plecos Here !!

[T time]

Freakdaddy: I love your L330, one of my favorite fish, i've been looking for a quality fish like that for about 3 years!

Just a different take on mine-Oh yeah what is he also if n e one knows-Thanks in advance-

Commonly known as chocolate plecos. They are a leucistic color morph of Glyptoperichthys scrophus.

The Phantom is a L128 not a L200 as its dorsal and adipose fins are not fused together as per B.Demantoides.(this issue is still a right can of worms eh).
PS I have 2 like this

Yours is an L200. It would be a Hemiancistrus subviridis. The far southern L128 are a rich blue. L200 has two different scientific identifications, one being the Hemiancistrus subviridis, the second being Baryancistrus demantoides, pictured in my avatar.

Nice L330, wanna ship him?

One thing for sure plecos make good models,not camera shy at all.trying to photo our fish is like pulling teeth.

Don't know about what kinda plecos you have, but the vast majority are very reclusive most of the time.

Well the two L200s have been scientifically described properly, it's just the L128 awaiting the same treatment. I've posted a link on here a couple of times to the article describing both the L200s, Baryancistrus demantoides and Hemiancistrus Subviridis if you haven't already seen it.

Nice common jackel

Beat me too it davo!

Not to be a nay-sayer but akskirmish's fish is a leucistic color morph of Pterygoplichthys pardalis

You are right, I wasn't paying attention when I typed. I was thinking of the Rhino pleco which also goes by chocolate pleco. Stupid auto pilot...
