Black Eyed Yellow Pleco
Help me to determine the type of pleco I have please. It is not an albino, it is actually yellow with black eyes but can't find the type. Any ideas would help.

by any chance?
There are certainly at least a handful of others that it could be, but in numbers, I think this is the most common.

It is not technically albino (which would have red eyes), but leucistic plecs are often sold as albino or chocolate.cbowlincatfish wrote:So, Your telling me I have a plain if I understand correctly common albino pleco.

Yep. In the trade that type is commonly referred to as a "Chocolate Pleco".
