Hiya,

We just bought 2 plecos. 1 is definitely a peppermint. But the other we are not sure. It was sold to us as a Clown Plec, but looking at pictures of thos i would say not!!!
Wondered what everyone thought it might be?

Thanks very much for your help

Laura

Not at all sure - a better picture when the fish is actually settled in it's tank would help, but the Yellow Spotted fish may be a stressed .

Definitely not Baryancistrus, wrong body shape. L106 looks like a good match.

All depends on how you look at it and how much you paid...here in Michigan, the "nuggets" seem to be a little pricier.

I could be wrong, but I am not entirely sure that the other fish (the "peppermint") is actually a . Have you looked at the species such as ?
