It's a L106..... pictured is one of mine at ~5.5" TL. He's closer to 6" now but I would think he is about done growing.... females are slightly smaller

Aw cute I'm excited. How long did it take him to get that size?

Thank you!I've had them for 4 years now. They seem to grow faster in the first two years than they did the last two.

He looks it from my Google searches. Well I was told this guy would be 8+ inches and I'm seeing now if indeed an l106 he will be small like our rubberlip. Will he be ok in a 180 with a currently small l090 long term? Or in my 20 long with my green neons? Or do I give him the 180 to himself.. I don't think my rubberlip would mind sharing the 55 he lives under a rock cave he built in the corner but I believe the temp would be an issue for one or the other.
that looks to be a sunshine pleco to me
No one yet this was our first venture into "large" plecos. We do have a rubberlip but i don't think it looks like he's temp compatible with this one. We were looking at a vampire pleco and a royal and picked her up instead.
I like the three beacon he is lovely. I just saw a l137 on here and he looks awesome. My 2 lfs have decent variety I have seen royals l90, l190, l191, rhinos, blue and green phantoms, vampires, rusty plecos, commons, sailfins, different good spotted variety, mustard spot plecos, rubber nose, bristle nose of many variety, Titanic, and good nuggets.personally I've never been a huge fan of the regular vampire plecos, but I do love their cousins the golden vampire, sultan pleco, and the three beacon

Gold nuggets, good spotted not good lol sorry for typos. My bf really likes the royals and l137 for the cool eyes as well as the blue eyed plec but he's a little too rich for our blood as well as I keep hearing they are extra territorial and sometimes agressive to community fish. No ty to that.
Good to know. Was he hard to find/expensive?I've got an L137 and he is by far one of my favorites. He is also the best algae eater I have ever had and the least aggressive pleco in the tank. My Royals are only aggressive with each other but they are still a little small for royals at 6" and 7"
