My active little pleco

Post by Plecoholic »

Hi All,
I just got myself a new pleco down at the LFS.
They couldn't ID the fish but I loved the markings and it's an active pleco.
Can someone ID this pleco for me?

Thanks

possibly "prince tiger" peckoltia, especially when you look at this picture:

he's only a few km (based on his description to me) from Melbourne. He said he recently sold 20 of his to local shops but i don't know how many shops there are in your area either lol.
