Hi,

found a new fish shop today and they were awful, but one fish that caught my eye was an orange spotted pleco for £4. I didnt know whether ot was good so i thought id buy it incase it was a bargain, but it looks like the prat in the shop gave me a different pleco which I think is a BN but im not too sure. Ive only got pics of him in his bag atm but i'll get some more later.

Honestly that could be anything from that photo, impossible to tell imo.

 

[orange shark]

yeah sorry about that, i'll get some new ones soon. Im starting to wonder what he is because he's getting some of his colour back and hes got some distinctive markings

i'll put more pics up in about half an hour

 

[orange shark]

these are the only pics i can get because he is on the heater behind a load of plants

will get some more tonight when he's settled

Not 100% but it does'nt look like an orange spotted plec. From the pics it looksmore white spots on it, could be a bn more pics will tell a better story.
Someone is sure to know more on here.

Please, call me Mike

But yes the size there is accurate, it has been updated recently. Of course that is SL as opposed to TL, so doesn't include the tail, measured from tip of the nose to base of the caudal fin....

 

[tangokitty]

[orange shark]

Yes lol, so what is it gibby or l001

 

[smithrc]

looks like an L001 to me (not a 'gibby') either way its going to be a big fish.

 

[orange shark]

ok thanks, if this helps its got really funny looking eyes, like a chameleons eyes or something like that

 

[xingumike]

its a gibby

[plecofan]

if it isn't already, you might wanna get the heater covered
