Tacoma Wa.
I have a pleco that my buddy at my lfs called me to pick up about 3 weeks ago. Its really cool no pics but a quick description: charcoal body, bristles on pectoral fins and a lot of tiny yellow/lime green spots on the head getting larger and futher apart as they go to the tail. Spots are on all fins. This fish is really nice I was told three years old and its about 6 maybee 7 inches long. Any one around tacoma wa with smarts on pleco's is welcome to come check it out I'm really intressted in knowing what it is. I'm not real rare fish savey. Any help would be appreciated. And I'm sorry for no pics. If the description is not enough I will see what I can do tonight. Thank you.
 
Looks like a blue but darker body and three times the spots as the ones on google images.
 
Bristles on pectoral fins? Sounds like a panaque of some sort to me.
 
I've seen adult gold nuggets and the green phantom was just to light in background color. Is goldy a diffrent type of pleco?
 
I will see what I can do about a pic. Its rad and I hate having a fish that someone asks about and I have to say I don't know. It may take a few days because I will be out of town and have drank too much to get a pic and figur out hoe to post now. But look out for it. I will call "id my pleco" thanks for the resonses and sorry I dident have a pic.
 
Sound like a blue or green phantom to me, too. Does it look anything like this? They call them "blue or green" but they're background color is more of a gray or brown sometiimes. (This one's an L200 Green Phantom).
