How do you determine if the L025 is the Sao Felix variety or just the regular Xingu? From wnat I've gathered, the L025 Sao Felix has more red on its dorsal and tail fin. Is this the only method to differentiate the fish?

Thank you.

i cant get a picture of it, but yea the only real difference i can find is that its "super red", which means a bit more red and a lot more expensive ;)

Yeah that is basically the difference between the two. Pictures seem to be harder and harder to find of Plecos.

So an L025 Xingu with extra red on it may be mistaken for a Sao Felix?
yea i guess so. i cant actually find a pic of the sao felix variety, but oddball, M|L and guppy are pretty good at finding pics of rare things so... maybe they can help?
