It looks like a very nice patterned L204 Panaque sp, I'm not totally sure but almost :)

I did not know that L204 could have such a spotted colouration? What makes you think that it is this fish? Or did you put down the wrong L-Number?

Cheers, CatBrat.

Yes, L204 can be spotted, usually in older fish. Looks like that to me.

Could be a
Panaque sp(L204)


Still if you could take a shot of the mouth and teeth or at least describe how they are shape...

Hi

Too me it doesn't look like L204.
I know they can be very spotted, but the spots on the above pleco are very regular. And the eyes are to bright. L204 has very dark eyes.
Or let me put it this way - I have never seen a L204 like this before.
