It's the best pic I could get, but any idea on the zebra looking pleco? Was listed as just zebra pleco, but at $17, I know that's for sure not a true zebra (plus the pattern isn't right). Just want to make sure I feed it right. I know a few species prefer some meat. :D

Looks like it’s right for l129.
 
Maybe L066? King tiger pleco? I have a smallish one I only usually see during water changes. I know he comes out at night and eats market shrimp or bloodwork I put in there...
Hope this helps!

Here's another. This bugger just won't let me get a good shot. I was thinking king tiger as well. I just can't keep all the numbers straight. :confused:
 
Maybe a better shot

Looks like L340 to me..... without better pictures it is hard to say for sure but it looks to have a larger than normal head and has what a friend of mine refers to as "eye glasses".

HTH,

I'm leaning l340 looking at the pictures. The one I've got is black and white, perhaps the color fades with growth? Either way, all mentioned need meaty foods, so I guess bloodworms will need to be fed often. There's plenty of driftwood and algae, which is fine for the clown pleco (l104?) in there. This guy was too cool to pass up at the price it was at.
