Labeled as L200 Green Phantom????

AquaAlex1993 · Sep 4, 2017

So I bought a 3.5-4'' L200 green phantom pleco. But he does not look like a normal green phantom. He's a bit more lighter and lacks lot of the spotting but has the phantom high fin and shape. What kind of green phantom could this be? Could it be from some other different locale than the others?
I will have better pictures tomorrow when I clean the tank.
Here is a bad picture.

I know terrible pic, but he is light green. Not many spots.

Damn! No chance for an ID now... woke up and found him deceased. What a shame. This is the 2nd ''phantom'' type pleco I lost from my LFS. I've bought royals and leopard catcus in the past from them with no issues at all, but their green phantoms die within days. I will get my phantoms else where. When I got L128 from New York when I was on vacation, they lived fine and are in my friends tank now.
He must have not been fed while there because he was thin.
The first two pics are of the first green phantom pleco I got from the LFS, which died 2 days later.
The next pics are of my L128 blue phantoms.
