Hi all , new to the forum , can anyone tell me what kind of plec this is , it's the one pictured on my profile , i think it's a Peckoltia vittata but not sure , only i got it for £2.50 , may have got a Bargin for once in my life!!!!!

Excellent price! how come it was such a bargain?

The guy ate the LFS had no idea , said it was a sail fin , he was also very busy , i wasn't exacty sure , when he said £2.50 snached his hand off

We have these in at the moment, but they are 10x the price you got yours for! You are VERY lucky! They dont grow big and are nice looking plecos.....

Methinks I found your fish at Planet Catfish. Check out this link to see what you think:
Peckoltia braueri

Looks like a lovely fish, and damn, I wish I could get a bargain like that!

Thanx "Morrgan" have been looking forever trying to find which it was , will have to go back and see if there are any more bargins!!

Where did you buy it from if you dont mind me asking...?

Braueri is a possibility otherwise known as a wormline plec, if it is then you have had a real result. There are so many pleckoltia types in that colour type, most of which are sold as clown plecs, that the photo is difficult to identify. If possible get a photo from above and the side but bigger. Wormlines are easy to see from above due to the head pattern.
