L006?

Post by somethingpishy1 »

I got this pleco as an L006, but the pictures online look different from what i have. Any idea as to what it is?

Hi,

this fish doesn´t have anything in common with Peckoltia oligospila (L 6).

The caudal fin matches really good with Isorineloricaria spinosissima.

Could also be a member of the complex around Squaliforma cf. emarginata. Do you know where it came from? Is the lower caudal ray longer than the one above?

Im not sure where it originated from, i got it locally from a fish keeper that has a huge collection of different plecos. Ive been keeping all kinds of fish for a long time,but Only recently have i started keeping fancy plecos

as for the caudal rays, both top and bottom are about the same size and the tips are slightly reddish. Its hard to get a clear picture since its new to the tank and hides all day
