Started looking into plecos after seeing Sescil's collection. Just picked this one up a few days ago. Can anyone out there help me ID this pleco. I think it maybe L191 or L190, not sure though.

it looks just like mine which is L-191. i think the eye color is about the only difference. mine does not have the real distinct orange eyes.

i'd go for an L190 because of the brighter eyes and the less broken stripe pattern! i wouldn't think it was an L027 which is the Golden Line Royal plec which is more yellow then green

This is a Panaque Suttonorum L191, The coloration of the eye and the stripes is the main difference. Definitely not a L027 as it lacks the large barbed gill covers.

I think it depends on the Plecos, Ive had up to 3 plecos in my 120 an they fought. but Ive seen someone on here with 20+ in one tank an had almost no aggression.
