came in as vampire pleco

Post by anubiasdesign »

Hello,
This came in from Brasil as a vampire pleco. It has much smaller spots than the typical L7. Is this a vampire or is it something else? If something else, then what species/L number is it?
Thanks for all your opinions,
Mark

Birger,
You've hit the nail on the head. That's gotta be it. The origin info must have been wrong. It's a friend's fish and one that he got from another online dealer.
Thanks,
Mark

Stunning fish, I have 6pcs of them ( had 8, but traded two)
I had Ingo Seidel on visit in October last year, so he did confirm mine as
L240
