Color changing pleco

[plainlazy]

Does anyone have one, or has anyone seen one for sale?
Do they blend in with their surroundings?
I read they change based on night and day, and when under stress, but also that they changed like a chameleon, and fast...

Here's a link with lots of info and pics on L168 plecs, also known as butterfly or flounder plecs ;

I've never seen one for sale so i couldn't say how much you'd expect to pay for one or any good places to buy them from but i do know they are definatly available in the aquarium trade .

Many plecs in my experience to some extent. It just depends on light (day / night) exposure and if frightened.
