Does anyone know what this pleco is?

[stuby]

It's a L204 or flash pleco...…..

Yep...it’s a flash. Definitely not a clown

Part 3 of me changing my mind... Look at the dorsal fin stripes..on a L204(Flash Pleco) the stripes go horizontally while the L104, L162, or LDA22(Clown Pleco) the dorsal fin stripes go vertically as shown in the original picture. Sorry for changing sides so much LOL but Plecos aren't always that easy to ID. So I stand by my original comment of Clown Pleco. Please feel free to give me a rebuttal.

Here's a picture of a clown

the reason I don't believe it is a clown is every one I have seen:
1. don't have that jet black like you see in this fish usually is is a blackish brown
2. don't have a sharp edge to the yellow lines like you see in this fish
3. don't have the high contrast like you see in this fish

I think the lighting makes it look blacker the it really is, the stripes and color make me think it's a clown pleco or some hybrid

Seeing it in person it looks most like the flash pleco.

That's weird, the striping on it makes it look like a clown pleco

the broken likes are seen on clowns more often but flak plecos can have them too just not usually this many

Ok, I'm still going with a clown pleco, not my area of expertise though
