Pleco list.jpg

That's correct, I was digging in some storage boxes looking for something when I found this paper(I'll go over it and attempt to explain them).

Notice the date: 1/93. I didn't hit my peak until mid 94 and had just over 100 plecos with about 50 different kinds(wish I had a list for that).

1) 1 Royal - Panaque Nigrolineatus (L190)

2) 2 Marble - At first I was thinking Marble sailfin but after seeing the rest of the list, I don't think so anymore. This goes as unknown.

3) 5 Snow kings - Back then the Pterygoplichthy commons were either a Anisiti or a Multiradiatus. The 'Anisiti' we see today are better known as disjunctivus, which is most likely what I had.

4) 4 Multiradiatus - same as above... what was called Multiradiatus back then is known today as Pardalis.

5) 2 Zucchini - Isorineloricaria spinosissima , you don't see these guys around anymore.

6) 3 Sailfin - Just the common Gibbiceps

7) 2 Speckled -Lasiancistrus heteracanthus , I'm thinking maybe as I remember having more then one of something just like these.

8) 3 Bristlenose - Nothing leads me to believe these were anything but common BNs.

9) 1 Gold-spotted - I thinking something like a Hypan(maybe L004)

10) 1 Chocolate Rhino - Funny, I don't remember them being called Chocolates back then.

11) 3 Marble Rhino - Ahhh, here we are. These are the Marbled sailfins(a variation of the common sailfin). I think I threw in the Rhino term because
their nostrils looked bigger.

12) 1 Vampire - Leporacanthicus cf. galaxias (L240s)

13) 3 Hypostomus - Just the true common pleco

14) 2 Sternella -Pseudacanthicus spinosus, Yes, we called most from this family as Sternella back then.

15) 3 Red eye reds - Commonly known today as Albino Chocolates

16) 2 Zebra - I think I paid $45 for the first one and $35 for the second and third one(it came later). The easy days. The first one I ever saw was $100 then they bottomed at $30.

17) 1 Clown - back then they were know as Peckoltia vittata .

18) 1 Tiger - was also classed under Peckoltia back then.

19) 1 Leopard - Possible Peckoltia Brevis

20) 1 Leopard var. - Something like the Brevis.

21) 2 Cochliodon - I believe they were L050 as they were humped-backed and spotted. Very friendly plecos

22) 1 Spiny Red devil -Pseudacanthicus cf. leopardus (L114), they were also called red-tailed Sternella

23) 1 Chubby - just a common Chubby.
