What kind of Pleco?

Post by charlemagne47 »

Is this L073, Portel Angelicus? Very young, appx 1 inch. Recently purchased unidentified, obviously. New to the forum and to the hobby. Just want an idea on max length--if it's L073, I have read that should be about 6", correct? Thank you for your help!

Thank you so much, Dave. Looks like a match. What can I anticipate? 3.5-4"?
