What, In your opinion, Is the most beautiful pleco?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Scarlet Pleco for sure. The a shop in my local area had some not to long ago and they are absolutely stunning.
 
P. gibbiceps. In particular, the variant that has very strong contrast between the lines on the body and the dark shapes formed between them. I have only seen these variants (ok, it may not be a true variant; it could just be certain exceptional individuals) a few times over the years (since I saw my first one in 1984), but I find them to be stunning, especially when you factor in the huge dorsal. They also have a color edge along the dorsal. Here's a decent example - http://www.tropicalfishfinder.co.uk/dbimages/glyptoperichthys_gibbiceps_adult(1)(1).jpg
 
might be a bit too common for most but I like my L83/L165 (Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps) nice high dorsal and good color.
 
Mine are the L600, sunshine and leopard frog pleco.
