Albino Pleco identification

Post by Stefan2013 »

Thanks to those who have helped me so far with my lovely fish. I thought I'd ask about this one, sold simply as an 'Albino Pleco'.

I have two of these with one being larger than the other...100mm & 70mm approx.

Does anyone have any idea if it is a particular Pleco?

Cheers,

Stefan

Thank you Tony, I had to go onto the web to see the image as the ipad app wouldn't show it... I think you may be correct, it does look like an albino 'chocolate' plec.

Thank you, really appreciated.
