Hi All,
These guys have just arrived at my local aquatic store and they have labeled them up as Clown Plec but not sure they look like Panaqolus maccus to me.
I had a look about on the site and closest I can find is Peckoltia Brevis what do you think?

So at £6 that would that be a pretty good price?

Agree re ID.
Yeah, that's a good price. You could drop £30 on 5 and you'd be pretty likely to get a nice pair out of them.

Cheers guys,
I think I will get myself a small group. I thought the price was good as for others in the Peckolita family they charge as much as £40 which seems a little pricey to me.
I see they lean more towards meaty foods could you recommend a good staple food source for them as I feed my other Loricariidae algae wafers. I regularly feed live and frozen blood worm/brine shrimp in my tanks as well as flake.

I really like earthworm pellets for omnivorous cats, my ancistrus species seem to like them & so do all my other non loricariid cats
