yea the second isnt a gibby, is right l number tho. that gold nugget looks Really stressed. gotta say i kinda agree with wyldfya, those 2 do look a bit like snowballs. yea your fisrt number 9 looks like my l002, but there are a lot of similar looking plecs. i dont like the photos of them outta water. especially with that shine from the water. your L200 is nicely coloured tho

Were those plecos put on a glass table?? I wouldn't recommend ever doing that again. Glass is much cooler than the air temperature, and you are chancing putting the fish into temperature shock.

They were only on the table long enough for me to grab the camera and snap a shot. Maybe 10 seconds. They all made the transfer just fine. They are going in with my malawi peacocks. They are already acclimated to the water. The GN doesn't have a sunken in belly. So I can't imagine it's not from eating. I've seen him much on frozen blood worms. I checked on all of them today when I got home from work all is well, except the L001 kicked the royal out of his home. They have their favorite driftwood with them. So I'm ok there. I'll just have to keep an eye on it.
