No one at the LFS knew what it was but I was thinking Queen Arabesque?? I got two just in case. Also, the second one was sold as a butterfly pleco but when I search under that name all kinds of plecos come up, none looking like him. Not even sure if its a plec...Thanks for the help.

haha...thanks for letting me know about the bottom one :grinno:

I know that LFS has had labels for Queen Arabesque before so I was assuming but it could be a number of different ones from that pattern....
 
The top one almost looks like a common. But I know little about plecs.

The second one is a Hillstream Loach, they are a coldwater species.:)
 
both of the plecos were very malnourished. so you guys think it is just a common plec?
 
The second is a Hilstream....

The first doen't look like a common, I just can't think of the name right now.

i thought there was too much white on it to be a common, but i'm not the best with IDing plecs.
