i NEED (yes NEED lol) a blue eyed panaque with the whiskers.

Well it has appeared that the above pleco, L046 or zebra pleco, has become one of the most sought after plecos at current times. Would it be as popular if it was less expensive and more common?

There are other black and white striped plecos-why is it not these that share the limelight also? L098 and L173 being a less common form of L046. These fish only get to about 3.5-4", when others get bigger. But what about others?

Below are some examples of other black and white(ish) plecs and could go on... (top to bottom: L066-Hypancistrus sp. ‘king tiger’, L204- Panaque sp. "Flash pleco", L236-Hypancistrus sp. "white tiger", L257-Pseudolithoxus tigris, L260-Hypancistrus sp. "Queen Arabesque", L270- Hypancistrus sp. "chocolate zebra")

So what does it for you? I'm talking beauty, NOT personality, cause my common L083 would beat these hands down! So.... Discuss.

those are beautiful!!!

i have a L204 panaque sp. flash pleco.. hes cool, he recently started making appearance on the front glass! however, these are only brief visits then he scuttles off back through the jungle to his special spot behind the heater.
