hi again all ive got a pleco that needs id'ing but i dont know how to post pictures

can someone please tell me how to do it

thanks

Read this sticky.

nice one

here goes the pics arent best quality sorry





thanks for any help guys

Looks like some kind of Panaque. Check the Cat-eLog.

thanks silurus

ive already been through the cat-e-log and found nothin , the guy at the lfs said it was a royal pleco and had it for sale at £22.00 so i bought it but when i goot home and had a look on the net for it at wsnt the same pattern as a royal pleco ,

is it worth £22.00 or should i take it back and tell him its not a royal ???

its size is about 3 inch

thanks

Well, it does look like a royal as far as shape and pattern on the caudal fin is concerned. We need some much sharper pics to be able to tell what it is exactly, though.

i think ive found it ???

it looks like L203 in the cat e log ive got a better pic of it now see what you think





thanks

I don't see any spots on the body that would suggest L203 (can you?).
Looks like a juvenile LDA65 or something close to me.

Here one Royal costs about 35pounds, so i think it is a fair price...
If you like the fish, don't return it... every panaque is a beuty to me

it looks alot like an LDA65 titanicus (as labeled at my LFS) its selling for $75 (US).

thanks for the input guys

but ive looked at both of the ones that you said it was and im still not too sure ill post a better pic of it later

its the white stripe on its tail fin thats abit confusing

well ill try and get on getting another pic for you now back in a bit

hope this helps

maybe a L190?

This is present in many juvenile Panaque. It'll probably disappear as the fish ages.
