New group of plecos, need positive ID

Post by WaterWorldAquatics »

Got this group of 7 plecos today. So what do you think they are? nearest Id suggestions so far, L270 and L199. Any chance is L316?

Hey Marty,

They look more like 270's to me. The eyes aren't right for L199 and they're not orange enough to be L340's. 270 is much more common, even with the ban. Where'd they come from?
