Pleco ID

[wonword]

Just got two new plecos, but could only get a shot of one. Please ID and tell how much they go for if you know. Thanks!

Looks like a sailfin pleco.
Depending on size... a 2 inch sailfin pleco goes for about $4.99 CDN and $2.99 if they're on sale.

Cool, they had it marked L001, but I was pretty sure they mismarked it because it looks pretty similar to the sailfin, just a little more vibrant. I paid $7.98 for this guy. And 6.98 for a sailfin from the same place.

Thanks!. So im reading on L001 and sailfin seems to cover a pretty wide range of looks, from gold nuggets to white spots?
