Species Information | |
Size | 300mm or 11.8" SL. Find near, nearer or same sized spp. |
Identification | This species is very similar to Hypostomus plecostomus - sometimes that species (typically exported from Colombia) is inaccurately sold as L087. |
General Remarks | L087 itself is very, very rarely exported as it is amongst the least commercially viable pleco found in the Rio Xingu. It's as hard to catch as, for example, Baryancistrus spp. and sells for a fraction of the price. |
