After reading some of the recent posts about the scribbled pleco vs. the queen arabesque I have begun wondering if I even have the correct i.d. on my own pleco. After I researched this pleco when I bought it I thought that I had an L260, but perhaps not. I'm sorry the picture is not that great, but he/she (I believe it is a female) is rather camera shy. Thanks for any input!

I'm no expert on plecos, but I think that is indeed a Queen Arabesque. I believe the scribble plec has more brownish colored, less distinct markings.
But I'm sure someone will come along and correct me.

Hi, thanks very much for the confirmation on my i.d.! My lfs is terrible about labelling even though they have beautiful, healthy fish. My queen was labelled as a "psychadelic pleco" so I ended up going through the entire list of L numbers in the cat-elog to figure out what it was before I bought it. I'm glad I had the correct identification. Thanks again.
