Here are some pics of the new pleco that I picked up a couple weeks back. plus a L66 King Tiger Pleco Pic(quick snap-Can't wait to see it in another 3 months)and a quick shot of the L-204 Flash Pleco. I also only see my new Blue Panaque L-239 when ever I gravel vac the cave. Under 2 inchs but eating and heathly from what I can see. Anyways here are the new pics. This mystery pleco is turning into a looker.:popcorn:

How big does a flash L-204 get?
 
bout 5"

your right, he has improved more, but it looks less like a L37 now... hmm
o by the way you missed L260 on your pleco hunting

Now the reason I missed the L-260 on my list is the fact that the Queen only gets about 4 to 5 inches and if like the king tiger I would see it once every couple of months. My lfs had one and was thinking about it. But the size of it at the LFS was so small did not want to take the risk of losing it (it looked almost a inch in length):eek: . I currently just moved a L-300 peppermint to the main pleco tank. Quick question I just picked up a Royal Clown Knife about 6" for 40. Would he cause any problems with the plecos? Smallest one I have is a 1.5 inch blue panaque(could not pass that up). I will try to get a video up of the plecos i have stocked in my tank, when I gravel vac. Have about 7 swim out it is a sight to see.
 
1.5" is kinda small, but its probably hiding most of the time anyway no? i think clown knifes are ok with plecos... but you might want a confirmation

mystery pleco? i never heard of the name

You missed understood. There is no pleco called a Mystery Pleco. The reason I call it that is the fact that it could be breed with a wide range of other plecos and not nowing the exact river it came out of. We believe it was an L-37 but lately it is looking alot different from a true L-37
 
Very nice have you tried PlecoFanatics for an ID on your mystery Pleco? Quite the looker you got there!
