Was in the local Lfs looking for Scarlet Badis(Danio Danio) and saw the guy in a tank with a crab and one eye. The tank wasn't labeled and the guy said it was a butterfly pleco. Since I thought i was getting a great deal do to injury($3). I didn't make him look it up. I posted this in a different forum on planet catfish asking about the injury when a poster said it was not a L052, which was what I assumed(perhaps foolishly). So what is he? Do I need prices from different angles?

Stupid ipad auto-correct dario dario, not Danio.

is what I thought, but if it's still a juvenile it can be hard to tell. H. furunculus seems to be less common than H. debilittera or L340.

I think your right, and 3$ is a great deal

Ill try to take some more photos with my camera(as opposed to my phone) and post them up tomorrow.

4" is big enough it should have adult coloration, so I'll stick with H. furunculus.

Hate to say it guys but using the other objects in the photos as references that fish is about 1.5-2" long at best.

In the first photo it is next to a standard UG filter lift tube which is 1" in inside diameter. In the second photo there is what appears to be a 1" pvc t fitting. The inside diameter of that is 1.25".

However I don't disagree with the ID. Just the size reference.

Sticking to my previous ID. It's a rather pretty specimen, actually!
