Longfinned plecostomus?

Post by thecichlidpleco »

I know I do not have a picture yet, but would anyone have an idea of what it actually is? It is a yellow almost light green color with black spots.

The only LONG-finned loricariidae that I know of is the common bristlenose, . But that doesn't sound right on your colour description... They do have an albino version as well, but again, it doesn't have dark spots - unless you have one of those with a further genetical disorder that gives black spots on the albino's... I thought there was a picture of that someplace, but I can't find it now...

Any chance of a picture? In these cases, the "a picture is worth a thousand words" holds very true...

Maybe the original ? Look at the righthand thumbnail which shows an adult.
