I have never seen a loricariid cat with those kind of features. This can't be a common pleco.

Thanks,
Cray

I fish in florida almost everyday of my life. I have noodled quite a few plecos in my time, but I have never seen one with a yellow mouth, and enlarged, blunt, and orange tipped pectoral barbs. Thanks for putting your 2 cents in though.

Maybe just a healthy wild caught example?

Maybe being spring time has something to do with it as well, alpha male burrowing, preparing for breeding?

Every pleco I have ever caught has been brownish black. Never have I seen such a brilliantly colored pleco in Florida.

I'm surprised no one has picked up on this yet. This was already posted before
