More new plecos, any guesses?

Post by briggadane »

Ok, I am rapidly adding to my pleco collection. There are so many cool ones out there.
Today I was able to obtain 2 L260's. Yesterday I got 2 that I have no clue as to identity.

I am attaching pictures. I am guessing they are either young BN or Hypo? Maybe L356? It has 8 dorsal rays.


Thanks.

It's far too early to tell the sex (not gender, which is a term relating to human social/cultural orientations, but I digress...) of those fish, as they're in their relative infancy. They look very skinny as well, so make sure they get good food in the next couple months.
