two nice pleco pics

[Miles]

You mean this Ranger Pleco?

I've imported them before, but unfortunately after people do research and find out they look alot like mini Gibby Pleco, they pass on purchasing it.. The cool pattern is only a juvenile thing.

well to me, that looks nothing like my gibby, and the round tail. is def not something you see in every pleco

 

[Miles]

Oh, and they are TINY when they come in with the cool pattern..

That one in the 2nd picture is a smaller one, looks like they have alot of color variants as juvies.. or the pattern just changes rapidly between 1cm-4cm..

Good to know... but the pictured pleco has a different body coloration... can you get in some of those, or know if that is just the juvy color for a more common name....?

No, your not understanding me.. When you they get to adults they look like Gibbys kind of.. Heres the link. Notice XoticAquatix has a picture for a juvie

And it has been determined they have a number of color and pattern variants as juvies.. As you would notice on planetcatfish

Actually the one to the left of your finger, has similar coloration. I think your right, just a lot of color variation.

I've heard that before, and don't doubt it at all. Just look at juvie orangeseams... they loose the color in there tail.. when they are big, they have more of a light yellow seam... COMMON NAMES SUCK!

 

[davo]

they are both Glyptoperichthys sp.
