I saw this really cool Pleco at this awesome fish store in MD... the place is quite large and they carry some really nice plecos.

I saw this one that i really liked but it was $55. Unfortunately i forgot the scientific name for it and the L-number.

The name was "...... Vampire" on the tank. If i remember correctly it was all black with white spots.

Any ideas??

Thanks,
Craig

Did you look in the Catelog under common names? You'll find it there

All black with bright white spots, right?

Like these? Then it would be Leporacanthicus sp. from Venezuela or Columbia (L240/241).
If fish had less black body colour with yellowish spots, it would be Leporacanthicus galaxias.
It sounds you are talking about Aquatic center in MD...

hi there,

A similar fish with a greyer body and yellow spots, would this not be L282, Pseudacanthicus sp?
