What are my Plecos??

Post by lemonlimecola »

I bought this here as a Whiptail catfish, on the right, which I know it is, but is there a specific name?? How large would it get, I was told not more than 6 inches, does that sound about right?? I checked the eLog, but it stated that not much is known about them. Any clues on how to feed them a well rounded diet??

Here is a better picture of the other two plecos I have, the one on the right outside the cave is the same one as in the picture above next to the whiptail. Would the one in the cave be another sp.?? Both were sold to me as common pleco :)
