Comment: Very fun pleco to have. Does well in groups, there will be sparring between males.

As to the orange pleco, I don't know which you mean. If you have scientific, or a picture we can get you the info. I have an L333 which is very similar, both will go by the common name king tiger pleco. King tigers are quite a bit of fun, not terribly active. A often used substitute for the L046 zebras. My two L239 blues are very active together, and are often the first to take on the food, and are not very shy. Often basking out in the light.

Chocolates start fairly dark and get lighter as they grow older.

There are a few species that are orange...ish, but names are missing from my skull right now. Post a pic that will help.

L038 and L015?

No I was thinking more like L137 brunos, L138, and the asian spot plecos often have an orange brown color to them.

yea they are nice looking plecos. ones i added were just orange/brown orange/black stripes like a tiger. look kinda sweet though
