There are several different plecos that have tiger in their names. Post a pic to be certain which one we are dealing with. King tiger plecos, L066, are generally the most common of the 'tiger' plecos. Check out the sticky.

Then there are species like L002 that are often called tiger plecos too... basically anything striped could end up with the name tiger pleco. Do you have a pic?

lol, that's a new one, what will the LFS/ fish resellers come up with next. The fish doesn't even have stripes.

It's called a tiger because it's hiding so well, we just think it is an L001! Common names are worth about as much as a preschoolers input at a UN meeting.

Bad analogy At times I think the UN could probably benefit from having a preschooler's input...what with some of the decisions they make..

Wow, I could have made a list of possible tigers... but I really wasn't expecting that one. Common names make me so
