FH1 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Hello! I got this Pleco from my uncle. I don't exactly know what type it is. Can anyone give me a name? 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atitagain Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Sorry I have no idea what kind it is. But I do know it’s really cool. I love the bands and the tail as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it is bred to have thinner stripes...? I have two of them and they look exactly the same. Thank you for your suggestion! On 11/16/2021 at 3:56 PM, Atitagain said: Sorry I have no idea what kind it is. But I do know it’s really cool. I love the bands and the tail as well. Yes it looks very cool! I got two of them and I hope I can get them to breed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biotope Biologist Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) That would be a lyretail clown pleco Panaque maccus (L425). When it gets older the stripes will broaden and it's caudal fin will become more of a gold swirl then stripes.   As you can see it can be very difficult to distinguish these "gold striped" plecos: Edited November 16, 2021 by Biotope Biologist 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
