I believe that I might have 3 full-grown adults of this species. I'm working on getting pics soon. But w/o pics is their any screaming charecteristic that will confirm they are Butterfly Plecos. Because L281 looks highly similiar to my fish as well. Also in the cat-e-log it says they reach only 3 inches mine are approximately 4 inches.
I thought they liked me! Then I realized they just use me for the food!

actually, an LFS here had a zooancistrus of some species at 6 inches or bigger, granted that's a monster but..

and I'm not familiar with 281, what genus is it?
