clown pleco can be one of many plecos that span through different genera. Do you have a picture? They are often however Panaque maccus (all L104/L162/LDA22) or Panaque cf. maccus or L206.

Yep, here you go...

So if hes a L104 he wont get any bigger than he is now? If so im gonna take him back and get that gold nugget or green phantom they had. One more question how big do dracula plec's get, I might even get one of those depending on size.
 
lol draculas new to me. Although I can see how that might come from vampire plecs- generally describing Leporacanthicus... all differing in sizes, but I could take a guess of 7-10"

If you are after a larger pleco... gold nuggets aren't going to be for you, they don't really grow in a captive environment at all... and usually dont get them in much bigger than 6", and more usual to be in the 2-4" range. Can however suggest Scobinancistrus aureatus, the "sunshine" pleco. Reasonably similar and will adapt fine in your tank.

Green phantom could be one of two sizes, either about 7", the other almost 12", depending on the species.
 
lol I think that's what it said it might have been vampire, I've been known to be :nilly: sometimes...lol. I'd like to get the vampire plec in my lfs only bad thing is that its 100 bucks and Im feeling a little broke until friday and even then bills:swear::swear: :swear:first of the month right around the corner ughhh...:irked::nilly::character0087:
 
These are probably 6" long and they are 99.99:(. This is the only LFS around me unless I *dreads to think about it* ever went to petsmart or petco to buy a fish...and they dont even have what i want! My lfs keeps some very nice fish, but they are pretty high. Right now they want 150 a piece for two 6-7" flowerhorn's.
 
ask if they can order you something in if you want it... but at 100 bucks for a vampire... too much imo.
 
Double checked at the local lfs while picking up some new lighting, and they are labled as dracula plecs (L007). I dunno.....:screwy::confused::nilly:
