Does any one have any of these beauties? They are my last pleco on my current wish list...and they are proving to be the hardest to find....:cry: ...would love to hear any ones experience. Thankz

Nice choice in fish! I have never had one but I know there are thoughts that L152 is the juvinile of the L95. Ask how big they are!!
 
A great fish. Pseudorinelpis genibarbis now, I believe. Big ones are very tall-bodied, active and vigorous fish. I have some smaller (3") ones and they are butt-ugly! They've been popping up on lists lately - good luck with it! Very easy to keep, just include your wood ...

Nice, thankz guys! They are in the 3 to 5" range...what size till they start to color up? I wanna get a group of them, they are just so freakin awesome!! "I have never had one but I know there are thoughts that L152 is the juvinile of the L95" is this true? Hmmm...they are labeled as L-095's....but whateva. The juv. pic does look crappy...lol...hopefully they will color up with age. I can see the spots though, the distinct armour plating, and the orangish tail startin to come, so its gotta be them. Two + years of searchin and finallly found some! :D
 
Congrats on finally finding your plec! Don't you love the feeling of searching for that one specific one, and then finally seeing that box on the front step!

SHWEET! I just noticed you are in New Orleans! I'm moving down to Mississippi and your only about 6hrs away...if i can only get one of these, like the seller only has one, can i talk you into some of your other ones? I am gettin some L-114 I could trade wit...;)
 
In 1999 P. Pellegrini was rediscribed as P. Genibarbis. L152 and L095 are both forms of this fish. The fact that they look different is why they each have different L#s associated with them. Varying coloration can be attributed to location, as with L200 the farther south you go the lighter the coloration.
