    Default Please help Identifying!

    I had no idea that there are so many different kinds of Plecos. Can anyone out there ID this little guy. It's 2" long. The Petsmart is selling as Hi-Fin Spotted Pleco. Mike

    I don't know exactly what it is but I would begin searching under Baryancistrus for the "L" number.
    There are 10 types of people on this planet; those who understand binary, and those who don't.

    Thanks for your responses. I got lucky surfing and found it. It's a Glyptoperichthys joselimaianus / L001. I was hoping it wouldn't get
    to large but that's not the case. 12" or so. I have an 8" regular Pleco
    that I removed from my Discus tank and stuck in a 20 Gal. by himself.
    Anyone have a good recipe for "Fried Pleco". Just kidding!
    Thanks again, Mike
