Please Help identify?? Is this a Lda33 Snowball Pleco

Post by Aquaticnutz »

Hello everybody is this a lda33 snowball pleco? not a l201/l102 I thought snowball were all jet black with around medium bright white spots I'm really sorry it just I been wanting a snowball pleco for a couple years now. It might be just be stress out but the fins and tail are clear and the spot aren't uniform/symmetric like a l201, snowball usually all have jet black fins and tail with bright white spots and can't see through them like this, please let me know what you think and what kind of pleco this is, thank you

I'd suggest taking a picture out of the bag, the bag's distortion makes it hard to tell what it is.

I agree with Milton.

I would guess based on that picture that it is a hypancistrus.
