Thanks Jools.. I take it that this type of Plec comes in a Multitude of colours and markings?? Does each variation have its own name also?

Not to my knowledge although albinos have been documented I think what your referring to is the change in colour and pattern from juvenile to adult.
I can stop keeping catfish whenever I want. I just don't think I'll ever want to do that...

Ah.. So the pic in the link is of a baby Plec. And mine is obviously an Adult, so that's where the difference in Colour and markings are from. Thanks again for the help, it's very much appreciated :-BD
