About a month ago I picked up a pleco which I thought was L22. Over this past month it has grown almost 2 inches already, which my previous one didn't do. It also is changing color and getting more yellow than I remembered. Before the color change happened about two weeks ago we were out and saw two more small plecos that looked the same, and picked them up as well, they aren't growing as fast and are still darker. So are the little ones (3 inches) going to change color too, are they L22, how do I sex them?
Sorry for poor pic quality, I took the big pleco pic tonight but the shutter wasn't set up fast enough and it blurred a bit, the little pleco pics were taken 2 weeks ago when they were new. They went to the glass right away and gave me a chance to photo their stomachs so I could see if they were gaining weight. They looked a bit skinny when I first got them but have put some weight on now and are growing, just not as fast as the big one.
