What kind of pleco is this?

[Water]

Saw this odd looking thing at a LFS. Thought it looked pretty cool. How long do these things get?

What was the price on that guy? I think we got one too at my lfs for 34.99.

Not my area, but looks like a Lamontichthys

The one I saw (and I suspect Water is seeing) has a large body size and small fins and a very small dorsal fin. I think the one I saw was around 7-8", and was definitely not a common whiptail cat.

Bump, I am not sure if Water is still reading this thread, but if anybody else wants to use it for reference I'm fairly certain it's a Pterosturisoma microps.

It is a L010

If it is P. microps, here's a forum thread that may be of interest on PC:
