New pickups! Possible Xanthic Royal?...

[Cohazard]

Picked up a juvie senegal to grow-out since I can't find them large enough in my area. Last one I bought was eaten by the oscar so it's going in a grow-out for now.

I tried to pick out a female, eventhough it's still very young:

I loove her color! Look at how yellow her fins are!

I also picked up this Royal plec. Just labled as royal ($20) but I noticed something very unique about the three left in the tank. I believe they are xanthic royals!!! What do you think???

I'm pretty sure it's going to lose the black over time and go solid gold!

I've never seen (or heard of) a xanthic royal pleco, so this should be very interesting.

Only place I've heard or seen this is over at the planetcatfish profile of P. nigrolineatus. They only have one pic, which is the only one I can find online:

You will bro!

There were two other ones. I'm deffinitely picking them up too. Who knows... if I run out of tank space when they become monsters (years from now) they'll be up for sale in the 'ol MFK FS boards

Please continue posting on the progress of the pleco, very interesting.

Trust me I will. Now that I have some good base pics of it, I will update in a couple months or so.

I can't wait to see what that royal turns out like.

So I guess nobody has seen anythin like this before? I thought maybe it was some other type of panaque (L203 was suggested over at plecfanatics) but I'm not 100%. Davo???? WyldFya????

Only time will tell, but it's tail looks a hell of a lot like a juvie L190
