Can someone positively ID the Plecos in these pics as L387.

Thanks very much

Hi

Thats L 205, sometimes considered to be a form of P. brevis.

Hi Gehan,

I also think your pics are not . The small spots on your fish reach beyond the head almost to the dorsal fin. In L387, they stop just behind the eyes.

Yours are still pretty fish. How is their color?

Cheers, Eric

Hi Eric,

I am yet to buy them. They are more yellow/gold instead of Orange. I wanted a positive ID before buying as i was not very sure.

Hi Daniel/Eric

Thanks very much. What about these 2 plecos from another group in the US. Are they L387s?

Yes, the last ones are L 387.
It's not only the colour, but mainly the head size in relation to the TL which makes it easy to distinguish those two, and the markings of course.

Thanks again Daniel for clarifying.
