As to the orange pleco, I don't know which you mean. If you have scientific, or a picture we can get you the info. I have an L333 which is very similar, both will go by the common name king tiger pleco. King tigers are quite a bit of fun, not terribly active. A often used substitute for the L046 zebras. My two L239 blues are very active together, and are often the first to take on the food, and are not very shy. Often basking out in the light.
 
thanks. i think the orange is really a chocolate that is light but will see when he gets older.
 
There are a few species that are orange...ish, but names are missing from my skull right now. Post a pic that will help.
 
yea they are nice looking plecos. ones i added were just orange/brown orange/black stripes like a tiger. look kinda sweet though
