LFS said it was a spotted pleco --;

im Thinking its a variant of the Medusa. The spots are beige/goldish yellow,
He is still very shy, it just happen that his home is easily viewable

L241?

L241?

it looks like it maybe a good possibility. On Planet, by looking at the pictures it seems like the juvies have very little spots.

Theres too many pleco that looks similar to each other.. without a full body shot or a pic of his head/mouth.. i wouldnt be able to ID properly..

If i had to bet money on it.. and this fish looks like its 10" plus.. so it has to be the more exotic and uncommon type.. but i wont comment on the L number.. need more pics..

U might not have to net up out.. just try to get it out i the open where u can take a nice shot.. I never net my pleco out for a shot.. unless i want to inspect their growth etc... (It actually stress the fish ALOT if u pull them out) best to take pics in water...

Its like putting a human into a vaccum and taking pictures of it..
