I collect plecos and have been in the fish industry for a good amount of time and I can't figure what this is and it's driving me nuts....only answer I'm ok with is it's a hybrid and no one will know what it is either lol

I have a standing order with my LFS when their importer gets mystery plecos in they get them for me and I've gotten 3 this way 2 have gotten positive Id's (L425 and L076) however the 3rd has driven me crazy it is possible it is an L196 but I have not been able to find anyone who has seen a young one and can tell me wether when young if they have red tips on their fins. I currently have 15 species of plecos and 6 morphs of bristlenose

That's awsome I love plecos ! I do the same thing I try to collect all the hard ones and the mystery ones .I would to know what this guy is? I've asked about 15 different fish stores local to me and no ones knows...i can't find a picture online of a pleco that even looks similar.. some people called it a blonde common pleco but there really isn't one lol so I'm not sure

It's about two inches I'm excited for when it grows out and I hope the pattern gets darker ...he would he a cool addition if he darkens up a bit
