ID for this brown/black and white pleco
Posted: 19 Jul 2014, 21:23
Hi,
Today I got a catfish from a friend who adopted it some time ago (possibly years). Since he's more in the adoption of water turtles and I am more in to catfish I agreed to take him(I guess).
Since I have three tanks to potentially put him in, I took the gamble.
The fish was photographed after transportation (stressed). He has a black/brown colour with white stripes. He somewhat mirrors my L134. The brown/black colour is not very bright, but a bit pale (also in the tank before I caught him). The fish is about 5 - 6 cm long. I think it is not a juvenile since some 'spikes' on the tail root(?) are visible.
The water he was in was a bit brownish, as can be seen on photo 1 and 2.
If I had to make a guess, I would go for an L270.
Thanks for your help!
Regards,
Bas
