Hi, this pleco was brought to us by a customer and they say it is candystripe but after looking online I dont think it is, just wanted to know what it is so I can sell it on ebay as the right thing. Sorry for my bad pictures, Thanks

It looks exactly like a group of L168 i have, the colours are always changing.

I agree with Dekeyseria, but I'd go for - D. brachyura should be a bit more contrasting colours.

Someone told me that to put the fish in a bag, shake it gently, if it looses colour, L-052, if not so much, L168?

Im quite sure it's a L052. Looks just like mine. L168 has more color to it than a L052.
