Was labelled as leopard frog pleco at my LFS. Purchased a month ago. Have some doubts about coloration as it seems closer to lineola or sp than Compta. Your comments are appreciated.

Re: Peckoltia Compta?
Welcome to PlanetCatfish.
About your fish, definitely not P. compta.
This is just a guess, maybe . is similar but I think it has too many spots on the head. Again, I'm guessing here, so hopefully someone else will correct or confirm.
Cheers, Eric

Re: Peckoltia Compta?
Your fish looks similar to a couple I picked up recently. Check out the pictures of mine on this thread-http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/view ... 13&t=45368
Personally I think mine are closer to L205 than brevis but that's my opinion, yours might be closer to brevis but there is a chance they we exported from the same source at the same time and whatever species they are they are the same.
