Ok Pleco People

[Earthgirl]

This little cutie was sold to me as a zebra plec, but the sales person warned me that he would get to be 12-14" long! And he was only $55 CDN. Let's see what kind he REALLY is......

And just cause she is a doll...... A sting ray eating shrimp!

Definatley not L134, they look like this:

Looks a bit like a clown plec perhaps...

Looks like a "Chocolate Zebra" to me L307 if i remember correctly.

Our L129 were sold as them - incorrectly so I looked at quite a lot of piccys of them.

None of the ones mentioned in this thread.

It *is* a zebra plec, just not the one you want, the L046.

It could be one of the following, but the differences in species is very vague so have a good look...

Jari Zebra Plec - L316

Tapajos Zebra Plec -L270

To me it looks most like the Tapajos or "Chocolate" Zebra plec and is still a nice plec, but if it is the assistant was wrong as it is a hypancistrus (like the true Zebra plec) that only gets to around 4-4.5"

Other plecs that are similar and worth checking out are L129 and L199.

God i feel like a plec geek.

Yeah it is

The 316's are 'black and white' ... comparing the 2... It's got to be a 207

Earthgirl's looks nothing like a L207 to me. The facial markings are entirely different.
If anything, looks closer to a L270

- it was a typo

L270 is the same as a L307, add them together and you get L207 = me getting confused

you learn to live with it.
