Does anyone have a clue on how rare a big royal pleco is that is white and blk like the zebra?? I have seen a few small ones but never any 6"++ in size like this one. Maybe I came across a new L# ? Any information would be appreciated. Im really stoked to have this fish. Let me know you guy's thoughts before I make a mistake and sell it. If its one of a kind no price tag would be worth getting rid of this. So please guys let me know if I have something special here, or just another common royal with odd color. We deal with 1,000's of plecos a year, and I have never seen a royal like this at this size, but that dont mean anything. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks John

Hi John,
could be this
? (But this picture is a juvenile)
From the pictures I've got it looks like it is brown and black striped as a juvenile and the brown fades to a white as it matures?
From the pictures here specifically the one titled "close-up of mouth..." the colour looks quite white. Actually Jools provided the image so he may have actually seen one?
Cheers
Geoff

If the photo shows the real colour and it's healthy, I would say it's an unique specimen.

On the link above images 3 & 4 look similar. Possible stress colour?
