I have a L-114 or L-600 (i believe i will post a pic later today) and a L-128 in my 75 gallon with mild aggresive fish(gold red severum, electric blue jack, Leporinus Arcus, starry night eel, butis butis, leopard bushfish, and geophagus abalios.) i run a 110 aquaclear and water change every 2 weeks(10-20%) i feed plankton, mysis shrimp, and thera +A. All of the fish love it cept the Butis butis is not liking the lighting that i just got (i'm getting some plants soon to dim part of the tank for him) I know some may consider this overstocking but i have done my research and the fish get along and i will soon enough be getting a bigger tank. Or another 75. But the question is what pleco should I get? I am open to any suggestions.
 
Well i just got a 4 inch Royal Pleco L-190 for 20 bucks and a brand new aquaclear 110 for 50 bucks not a bad day!
 
Also i know that they get huge and will need a much larger tank then a 75 gallon what kind of panaque could fit in a 75 gallon comfortably?
 
I couldn't get the L128 wouldn't out behind the cucumber to come out and take pics. The leopard or the leopirnus would not sit still. and the butis butis is hiding lol so this is all i got todayfish6.jpg

so can any one help ID the lil guy (the pleco)?
 
L114 but then someone told me it was a L 600 i cant tell the difference.
 
http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=208 from this page it looks like it could be a L 114 but with just a really yellow coloration. but after really looking at this page
http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=810 I think it looks a lot more like the L 600. a very beautiful fish none the less.

Thank you mattsevens1 I appreciate the help I hope I can get some more comments to help more too because i really would like to get to know more about plecos because i am addicted to them right now! they are awesome fish!! I also want to know what pleco i have so i can record it properly. Yes i know a little weird but i am a science guy and love this stuff!
