Bull nosed plec?

matpreec · Post by **matpreec** » 27 Aug 2005, 18:54

In my LFS i have seen some juvenile plecs labelled 'Bullnosed Plec'. They are very similar in shape to the bulldog plec in the Cat-eLog (large beefy head, similar dorsal and tail) but completely lacking in spots.

Do the spots appear as they mature? Does anyone know the correct name? or have any knowledge of this plec?...

... as im very tempted but need to know a bit more before i buy.

thanks

Thanks for the reply

Yeh, kind of - well, exactly the same shape but the ones in my LFS are a very uniform pale grey colour - i asked the owner how long they had been in and he said 2weeks so can we say that stress is the cause of the paleness and is http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/lo ... /318_f.php the fish?
