Help needed: is this L066 King Tiger Pleco or another species

Post by wico osinga »

Hello all,

I recently bougth a group of eight L066 King Tiger plecos. I have placed them in a separate aquarium of 100cm x 50cm x 50 cm. Now I noticed that one of the male plecos seems to have a different pattern. The other plecos have a much finer pattern than the one on the pictures below. This makes me wonder if this is really a L066 or maybe another (similar kind of) species. As I'm a newby with plecos, I much appreciate your expert opinion. Thanks!

Hi wico osinga,

Welcome to PlanetCatfish.

What do the other plecos look like? Do you have pictures of some of them for comparison?

Cheers, Eric

Hi Eric,

I will try to take a picture of (one of) the others. As they are good in hiding I was not successfull in taking a decent picture so far.

Looks like a tiger to me, Just different colour slightly.

A friend of mine will only breed the brown and white. Looks like hers, Just fatter? Maybe full of eggs?
