White Pleco's ?

[NottsFishy]

Is there any white plecs out there that arent albino's ?

I know zebra plecs, king tiger plecs and queen aberesque plecs have white on them with dark markings but was wondering if there was any that were entirely white ?

Am asking as i am thinking of doing something soon

Cheers

As a natural colour, a white fish is at a severe disadvantage, because he is going to be quickly eaten by predators, unless he blends in with the natural environment.

Many of the most attractive Pleco have white markings on a black body, but this is L236, and it has the reverse.
Black markings on a white body:

What a fantastic looking fish.....

you wont find one, very very very few have ever been exported (not even talking hundreds here over the entirety of its collection), IF you were to find a real 236, you would be paying a lot of money for them
