I was in my LFS today and i saw some really nice plecos, they were still small (about 2 inches) and they were black with tiny blue specks on them, and i thought they were so pretty. They were £29.00

I have completely forgotten what they had called them, so can anyone please help me indentify them? I would greatly appreciate any links to pictures.

Thanks in advance :D

Maybe they might be L030 too AKA peppermint pleco, L128 appear to be sold in UK most commonly as blue phantom plecos, perhaps the common name will jog your memory.

Thanks for all your help, unfortunately all the plecos you have suggested do not fit the plec I was thinking.

The specks on the plecos you suggested are way to big compared to the pleco I saw. He was really small (obviously still a baby), and he was black with really really tiny spots of shiny blue specks on him.

Not to worry, I will look at the name next time i go there.

Thanks again :D
