I got these from someone who said they were 'orange spot' plecos. I looked on the pictures you have of orange spots and mine don't look like them. Does anyone know what they are? They are between 2"-3". Thanks

This is the common amelanistic form of L. pardalis bred in SE Asia for the trade. I believe P. sp. 2 is a different naturally occuring sp.

Thank you. A bought from someone who messed up and sent me those instead of a different pleco i wanted. He said they were wild orange spots. I didnt' think so. I do like them though. They get along well in the bn grow out tank. I will never buy from this guy again.
Do you know how big they will get?

odd!!
it says "size 250mm" for L pardalis.....
I can easily walk in the nearest LFS, pick up any rejected outgrown Common Plec wich passes the 1 foot with ease, let alone the rare show-ups of truly massive L pardalis in the 500mm range......
obviously the size in the catelog is wrong.
