Peppermint Pleco Would It Suit My Tank

[Wanda hornsey]

As some of you may have seen I recently lost my snowball pleco my husband and I have seen for some weeks at maidenhead aquatics (St Albans) some peppermint Plecos, it says they are L30's however and that does not seem right please correct me if I am wrong.

Would one of those be suitable in my tank?

Thanks for your replys

I think they must have missed a 0 off the end (L300 on PC). Hope that link helps

I was thinking that too when I had a good look on the Planet Catfish site a week or so back, unfortunatly they dont have any info other than size...if I am too google I just want to check that there is only one Peppermint Pleco, not a little size one and one called that that grows to 75ft long you know what I mean

I've got a Peppermint Plec, L031 is a mature L30 apparently !!

LO31
so one of these and one of these
LO31
are the same thing

Very confused as they have different latin names.

LO31 Loricariidae :: Parancistrus nudiventris.
LO30 Loricariidae :: Oligancistrus sp. (L030).

Flippin Plecos and the names are confusing

 

[andyj]

That's correct

If you read the notes for the L031, it states that the L030 is the juvenile.....

Gets very confusing trust me !!!
