Can Anyone Identify My Plec?

[petertr]

Does anyone know of a site where I can look up a plec?

I was given it from a friend who was setting up as marine - and he couldn't remember what it was.


I've looked for a site to check against, but I haven't been able to find one.


Here are some pics:

I'm guessing this bit of PlanetCatFish might help, but it will surely take a bit of searching.
You may still get a quicker answer posting the picture on here

Holy hell - there's no way I can go through all of that! hahaha


Time to throw some food in and tempt it out. Camera is in hand - wish me luck!

Managed to get some pics - hoping someone can help me. Thanks in advance

My best guess so far is this http/www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/image.php?image_id=7770 - L252

Perhaps, I think The Aquarium Wiki has a list of such, you might want to check.

I think you're right. Looks just like the first one on this page - http/www.c-u-w.net/fische/leporacanthicu...s_l007_l029.htm

I don't think its the others suggested so far, as the body shape is odd - whereas those suggested have a traditional plec shape.
