royal with odd pattern
anyone ever seen a spotted royal before? this one is up for auction, but i'm not sure if i should bid on it. i can get regular royals for $20 locally. is this a different plec, or just a different pattern?

Hi!
Strange the fish pictured there has the coloration of L330 ( in the second part of the body) and of a "normal" Panaque nigrolineatus in the front part of the body...
It would be interesting to see if these coloration will change and if they change how it will change...
Cheers

Hi!
Imho its not too surprising that theres fish with these types of patterns. If you look at other species a melting in of spots to blotches or breaking up of lines to spots is quite a common thing.
It is a really nice looking fish though. Go for it Yann and find out what itll look like. ;)

err... actually, that pic is stolen, like many other fish auction pictures, from fish2u, an online store out of florida with crappy fish but a great selection...

has been up for a year or more there... Highly unlikely you'd get a fish from the same batch, and most likely it wouldn't look like what you wanted.
