Hello, I was hoping some one can ID these pleco for me.
My LFS sold me these as clown pleco, but I was wondering what LXXX are they?
Here's the clown pleco :

This one doesn't look like a clown pleco to me (spotted head and strip body):

Also, does anyone know if there is a name for this pleco yet?

It's a newly discovered pleco ... mention at :

For that matter, have any one seen this beautiful pleco for sale?
