Help to Identify this Pleco

Post by Gord Emsdale »

Hi

I need help to identify this Pleco. I bought 6 at a LFS for 18.88 Each, they were sold to me as Dwarf Clown Pleco, but don't resemble any I can find.

Panaque sp(L204)
. Not a dwarf when compared to
Panaque maccus
which is the traditional clown pleco.

Kewl someone saved me the trouble already. I just bought 4 of these yesterday. They were sold to me as Imperial Pleco's which I knew they weren't but I still loved them & had to have them. Two of them are blacker & 2 are more yellow but they look just like the pics there with the even lines going around the body. They also have a tiny little bump between their eyes.

I'll try to get my pics upload as soon as I can.
P.S. They weren't cheap either but I was happy to get them at the LFS, where they had special ordered them for me!
