New knife and pleco pics

Here are some better pics of the new BGK and phantom pleco. To give an idea of size, the bottle he is in is almost 8 inches.

Even more gorgeous Hemiancistrus L128.

Looks more like an L200, but hard to tell due to the angle, and the lighting. Can we get a clearer shot?

Thank you. The pleco is really cool. Just thought it was funny they call him a blue phantom when he seems more green. Any first hand knowledge with this one, specifically temperment?

Well from those I'd say it was the L128. Wouldn't be suprised if the spots went all the way to the tail on it too. Temprement, not much, just your normal pleco. May get into small scrapes with other bottom dwelling nocturnal fish. Generally not many problems specific to them. More of a meaty eating pleco, but needs the veggies too. How big is it?

If it was sold as a blue phantom, that would be a L128, however, the coloration suggests L200. There will be no aggression from these generally. They are very easy to keep. Give him lots of veggies, and some protein.

Maybe it's your eyes vs. my eyes, but I see that as normal 128 colour lol. Think you can see a tint of the light blue at the dorsal edge too. Maybe it's my eyes.

Or it could be our monitors... I see a tinge of yellow on the dorsal, which I see in many mature L200s.
