FishyMike Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) So I have the opportunity to purchase a group of 6 L397 or a group of 6 L236 RB . Ill post pictures. these are the L236( these fish have the potential to produce the SW (superwhites) the mother is a sw and the father is a regular RB. and they ae close to the ZEBRA PLECO in species Which one day i would love to have in the fish room! would be good practice!! these are the L397. They are wood eating type pf pleco Looking for more of opinions than anything else both groups are young and ill defiantly have along road ahead but I'm excited to bring in some new fish to the fish Room. Both groups are also similarly priced maybe a touch less for L236. Thank you in advance for any and all input!

lefty o Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 they are both cool looking pleco's, so hard to decide. i kinda like that tall dorsal fin on the 236, so id lean that way myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levi_Aquatics Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 That is tough! I would probably personally go with the L236. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonske Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 L236 wins for me, the high contrast and the tall dorsal fin are irresistible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.K.Luterman Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 But my vote is for the L236! Gotta love that black and white striping. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tolstoy21 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 L397s are very nice and easy to keep. However, they poop a TON OF WOOD daily. Every day I'm in my fish room, I look into their tank and sing to myself -- "How much wood would a pleco poop, if a pleco could poop wood?" !! 😊 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabby Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) My conservative vote is for the L236s, for the main reason that those awesome plecos with orange and red like the L397 always seem to dull out in the hands of the average aquarist, and it’s only in superb photos that they have that crazy colour. Whereas, a good white and black pleco pretty much always has strong colours. Take that opinion with a grain of salt though. It’s just what I’ve seen in videos of other people’s fish rooms, not from personal experience. They both look like super awesome fish.

FishyMike Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 L236 group should be here this week! they are about 2 inches long. i will re evaluates in a couple weeks and see if the person selling the 397 still has them. AHHH might need to get another rack lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
