Can someone Identify my pleco.

[AntGF]

I have tried searching online and have worn myself out. I am new here and looking forward to my journey in MonsterFishKeepers. I know my tank is a little small for my Oscars and will donate them when they get too big. I love all the algae growing on my driftwood, great place for my red pleco's to breed. Several months ago I had a breeding pair and they would lay their eggs under the driftwood that has been in the tank for 5-7 years. I don't sell my fish, I give them to other hobbyists.

Thank you.

Anthony

Welcome aboard
Someone will chime in with experience of that Pleco ID.

I'm not well versed in plecos but I saw a picture recently and it looks pretty close to a L201 Snowball plec??

And welcome to the forum.

The pleco's most likely either Glyptoperichthys or Pterygoplichthys of some sort; I'd say probably G. joselimaianus (L001) but I'm not entirely certain.

Thank you all for this information.

Thank you. I have been keeping fresh water fish for a little over 40 years. I have a salt water reef tank for 7 years now and I love it.

Wow you are fishkeeping hobbyist for sure. Post a pic of your Saltwater Reef setup 7 years is quite an accomplishment ?

The first photo was my 3 year old 46g bowfront, Two years ago upgraded to 75g (second photo) and was almost like starting over again. Having a little trouble accessing the more recent pic's, once I find them I will share. Thanks for your interest.

Awesome setups and the fish look great. That's the largest Tridacna Clam I've seen in a home aquarium. Can't wait to see the development of those frags.
