Species?

[pamn]

Can anyone tell me what species this is?

[JessicaW]

It looks like a really sick common pleco to me.

Tell me what you are feeding it right now? That is common for them to "fade" if they are slowly lacking nutrition or food.

There is no way this is a common pleco (i.e.

Pterygoplichthys

spp.) as there are not enough rays in the dorsal fin. It could be a species of

Panaqolus

,

Peckoltia

or even

Hypancistrus

but we would need more pics to be sure. A close-up of the suckermouth would be good and indeed a pic of the fish in normal colouration.

My less than 25% sure guess is

L127

.

He´s shy but I´ve taken some new pictures...he´s not that yellow though, it´s just the camera...

You can see the mouth a bit better here...

[Dave Rinaldo]

A close-up of the suckermouth would be good

We are looking for a pic of the inside of the mouth. (i.e. teeth)

Similar to this.

Havn´t seen him, he´s hiding during the day so I havnt seen the mouth in close up....

Panaqolus maccus maybe?

[pamn]

Hmm...Looks more like Panaqolus sp. (LDA068) ? It´s stomach is white...
