Pleco ID?

[black_sun]

Two 1.5" plecos I recently got. I'm not sure what species they are, just that they are very dark with vivid white spots and some white striping in the fins. Any ideas as to what they might be, or are they too young to tell yet?

I could have sworn they look like Ancistrus sp. 3 to me. Look that one up.

They certainly do look like that, hmm. Thanks!

I concur.

Hey Johny, what's the fish in your userpic/avatar? It's really awesome looking.

Johny's avatar is Hypancistrus zebra or L46. Captive bred specimens still fetch a very high price. All wild caught specimens are banned for collection by IBAMA of Brazil.

Wow, it's just beautiful. And based on the general prices I just brought up... so never going to be part of my life anytime soon. X_x
