UFPs (unidentified flying plecos)

Post by Brown1988 »

Hi Everyone! This is my first post and I need a few of ID's Please. first one i have no clue what it is, it was sold to me as a common pleco but i didnt think that is was it is (cheap fish stores) and the second was sold to me as an albino chocolate pleco i think i have IDed this one with my own reasearch, but i would like any 2nd oppinions. and the third was sold to me as a Rubber Lip Pleco and i think that it is a L-056 but i would also like 2nd and even 3rd oppinions on this one. thank you for your help in advance

Please follow the Photobucket link below (pictures are to big)

For Some reason On my computer when i look at the post, it shows that "Pleco%20ID" is "pl*co%20" so if you cant get to the link, cap the p and change * to e


P.S. Slow learner on the digi cams, working to figuring out how to make the pix smaller (i accually read the owners maual too!)

First one looks like a "Common" of some sort, possibly one of the Hypostomus sp.
Second looks like Rubberlip family.
Third is Chocolate/albino Common
