Need a pleco ID

[Mudfrog]

This guy is at a LFS for $29.99.. It's about 6-6.5". A dark brown with lighter brown spots and a lighter brown marbled pattern. Forgive the bad pics, my camera phone sucks.

Pterygoplichthys joselimaianus or L001. Tbh I wouldnt expect to pay anything for him, it would be better to try and re-home one.

u can find one anywhere in a LFS... they are nice.. but not THAT pricy... i would get a small one a grow it out..

Ah ok, so really common and undesirable.. I'll pass then.

Thanks

I understand what you mean but that shouldnt matter if you like the fish, some of the most impressive plecs ive seen have been the 'common' varieties.

I know what you mean.. but this is not the species I'm on the lookout for. If it was a great deal then I'd make room for it otherwise I'll hold off for an L024, L025 or L091.

Good luck trying to find 24 and 25s.. theres probably a waiting list amongst vendors themselves...

They wont be around for a while.. unless their capative breed..... as for L-91.. u can still find those.. they'll pop up non then then...

I agree.

While I don't believe them to be common... and I do desire one...the price should be lower.

Like most Pterygoplichthys most average tanks can't handle a 12 inch and return them.

I heard petsmart is selling these guys(smaller).
