Dwarf Stingray Pleco

[slamster17]

well i bought my very first pleco today at my lps and they had them labeled dwarf stingray pleco. all i can tell you about them is that they look kind of like flounder with long tails. Does anybody on here have on or know anything about them?

Thanks

My Lfs had it labeled as a Butterfly Pleco They do best in cold water fast running water with lots of current. I was gonna buy one but then i found out what it really was.

its probably not that, mine was like that too, its the lack of oxygen that kills it
