GOLDEN TOAD PLECO

[StingrayFanatic]

Anyone ever hear of a golden toad pleco. If so, what is its proper classification name/number? My lfs has one for sale? Is it carnivorious?
I searched the net but couldn't come up with anything. Thanx for your help.
Btw, they're selling for $200-280.00 for 4-6 inches.

Probably the same as a xanto/yellow rubber....parancistrus sp.

I'll second that. A picture would help have a more precise id.

I'd almost put a bet on it.

I looked up xanto pleco and Bingo! you guys were correct. any info on these plecos? My lfs says they an excellent pleco to keep with rays? What do you guys think?

Damn my LFS was selling one of those for $30.

well I think your lfs is trying to make some money from you personally. Not saying they won't go, but I wouldn't risk a ray to a pleco, or risk that much on what is considered by some as the "holy grail" of plecos... Plecos and rays are as a general rule not something to mix.

I kinda doubt they were going for 30 either... but you never know in this crazy world.
