Hiyas everyone,

I was just referred over from another forum. I've used this website to help w/ id's so many times and still never noticed the forum..lol Great to know you have one. I need help id'ing this pleco so I'll just copy and paste the original post.

I've had this guy for about 2 weeks, he's a good hider so I finally got pictures tonight ^_^ Took me long enough...lol. He's got loads of personality and even ate from my hand, so now I have two spoiled plecos. I *think* he may be a Hypostomus sp. (L227), but it's hard to tell. http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/lo ... 1520_2.PHP

Any ideas?

On a sad note my biggest pleco Sneaky died today, without any known cause, didn't even act sick, i miss him ;("

I'm not sure, but what a friendly little guy! I love that it's eating from your hands. TOO COOL!

Hi!

Look like some sort of Hypostomus from the cochliodon species group, but which species is quite hard as many are looking quite the same...and some does change a bit from juvenil stage to adult...

Cheers
Yann
