It's certainly one of the group of similar L numbers. I think small ones have that pattern from time to time.

I don't think the photo is of the actual fish for sale though. The setting just doesn't look right. Google "galaxy pleco" and the photo appears in other places!

I have emailed the seller asking if this is a photo of the actual fish for sale, or a stock photo but no reply as yet.

Cheers

They can do that overnight.

I'd ask for a pic of the actual fish. Personally, I wouldn't buy from someone who's stolen a photo.

The odd pattern is natural for L29 and even L007, this pattern shows when they are stressed and at night, they can change to this pattern very quickly. I know some was offering this "pattern" as a "new" specie last year... even IBAMA didn't know better and confiscated the shipment just to find out they made a mistake, but if you are out for money and don't care if the client get fooled, shit happens ;)
