new here with a couple questions

[voodeezy]

ey everybody I just got my first plec since my 5 year old galaxy died during hurricane sandy power outages. Even with a generator running 12 hours a day he couldn't handle the nightly temp swings after 11 days with no power. Anyways I ended up picking up my new guy at a lfs becuase it was labeled as "hong kong pleco" and only $5. Ive tried to id it myself but I'm not very educated on the subject, my guess is L134 or some other peckolita. Any help IDing this guy would be great.

My old galaxy


New guy (I'll try and get better pics asap)

I'd say

Peckoltia vittata

. That's a stunning L240 by the way, looks very nice, sorry you lost it.

[I'm also moving this subject to the "Catfish identification" section.]
