L332 Green Chubby plecos

Hi friends hope everyone is well.
Anyone breed these green chubby plecos?
I haven't seen them for sale until now!
Anyone interested in hatchlings & have an idea on what these are worth?

I do love the green olive highlights! Wonder if they turn colors like L056.

Hi,

they can turn colours indeed, like e.g. P. aurantiacus and P. nudiventris. There is no single record though of L 56 turning colours.

I've got one, I got mine as an only individual in a batch of Parancistrus nudiventris. Not seen any others available or even others other then a commentor on my Youtube keep them. A UK store seems to have them but many of their photos are of Parancistrus nudiventris.

All I can say about colour is mine has small pin point spots, always had them but more obvious when stressed. Really robust fish, I wouldn't trust my bulky, boisterous Baryancistrus with smaller crevice dwelling Loricariids but this little Parancistrus seems to know how to avoid the tyrants he/she lives with. Parancistrus as a genus seems to be prone to various levels of colour changing, not many quite like Parancistrus aurantiacus. Spectracanthicus as a close relative as well seems to get it quite frequently.

Price I don't think there is one set one? I was originally told £60 as that was the price for the P. nudiventris, came back in a year and he/she was still there, they lost the price tag and charged the Parancistrus aff. aurantiacus price of £30.

As I've said to the OP, we don't have many pictures of these guys, or info. So send anything along and I will capture it in the species profile.

Cheers,

Jools
