Hey everyone,
Picked up 2 new plecos today, couldn't resist...caught the pleco bug.

The first one I am thinking may be an albino chocolate, not sure

They weren't labeled at the store, but looked like decent individuals. The second pleco has some decent size to him.

ha ha ha the second is not a marble horned sailfin looks close but has no red to him I think he is probably a common Trinidad pleco...

id say the second one was a sailfin as for the first could just be a common hard to tell at that size

The first is a Chocolate pleco, and the second looks to be a Hypostomus Plecostomus

:iagree: about the first one... The second one may be a Hypostomus plecostomus or a H. punctatus, the so-called "common plecos" here in Brazil.

Best regards.

Daniel.
