Pleco Id - Gold Spots

[stonecoloured]

Good afternoon all,

I've seen a Lovely Plec in the following advert : http/www.aquarist-classifieds.co.uk/php/detail51_173206.php
I'm nowhere near the location! From my (reasonable) experience it doesnt look like a Gold Nugget Plec (I may be wrong).
But I wonder if anyone can give me an ID so I can look for it down this neck of the woods?

Many thanks

I dont know a lot about plecos but to me that doesnt look much like a Gold Nugget Pleco. I was thinking it was more like a L003. Gold Nuggets Have a yellowish edging to their fins right?

That was my thoughts too... I've looked into Gold Nugget Plecs and they can possibly get to that size... so I'm now wondering if their colours change as well...

L003 - Maybe, I don't know enough about their colouration, but this one seems to have tighter spotting than the pictures I've seen of L003

After looking at some pics of L19, I also think it is a L19
Because, both grow grow to 10 inches
Both have huge hoover mouths
Both have large scales with the same kind of pattern and colour
And both have a plain brown colour underneath the thick pectoral fins.

Thank you to both Carlovel and Jacko I think you're both right!

Also this thread has thrown up some, other, lovely Plec suggestions... I think my wishlist has just increased!

Thank you to all who helped

Have a good Bank Holiday!
