I have one just like that living in my 120. The only time I ever see him is when I re-arrange the aquascape!

I think that is how he got by me for so long..

That's always a good find. Looks like a Candy Stripe Pleco (I don't remember the scientific name). Where'd you think he came from?

Hey Liz, sorry I only just found it, the pm didn't alert me like usual lol. They can be sold as both, because we all know common names and plecos don't mean anything, but originally I believe it was Panaque maccus (and cf) that are sold as the clowns and the Candy stripe as Peckoltia vittata. This is a Panaque maccus, or L104, so I guess you could say a "clown pleco".
