Clown Pleco

Post by shawntraviss »

Hello all. I was at a local pet store today and they had a tank full of small Clown Plecos. Most were the usual but this little fella stood out. He has alot more pattern then the others and was a lighter brown. Is he just an odd specimen or somthing altogether different. Thanks.

Hi,

I would say it is a
Panaque maccus

Colour may appear lighter due to stress.

See you,
Matien

I agree with Matien.

Almoste sure it is Panaque maccus (Panaqolus maccus)
