Jayba Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Number 1 looks like about 6 plecos I can think of. L134 , L140 or a few others Number 2 is possibly Pterygoplichthys punctatus Ranger Pleco. Pterygoplichthys can be identified by the number of rays in the dorsal fin. More than 10 indicates that it's a Pterygoplichthys. Most other plecos have 8 or fewer rays (in particular the larger Hypostomus species that are most likely to be confused with Pterygoplichthys). Number one is far too blurry. Post more pics of both. Hop on planetcatfish.com and confirm the ranger Edited February 13, 2012 by Jayba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylon7 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I love your little numer one pleco - such a cutie! Reminds me of my darf clown pleco L448 but I think it is a different. For your second one, I am guessing L106, Spotted Orange Seam Pleco. Both are neat looking - enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimmi7 Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Ok so i am thinking the second one very well could be a ranger pleco. Was about to take new and better pics but my camara's batteries went dead lol. First one though, i am sure is a L069 as it has the same spots on the face but as stripes on the rest of the body. Should be interesting when they get bigger. right now they are about 2-2.5 inches each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I'm guessing your first one is an Iquitos tiger - Panaque changae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was about to take new and better pics but my camara's batteries went dead Ok, some questions for you. Who did you get pleco #1 from? Where did they get them it from? As an l069 is pretty unique? They are off the export list so a young one makes me go hmm Does he eat algae? Turn your wood into poo constantly? U charged that camera yet? U like taco's? (just seeing if everyone was paying attention) Edited February 16, 2012 by Jayba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmi7 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 so as i finish pulling everything out to find the little frigger, I got some new pictures of him. I am thinking now as I got much better pics it could be a female clown pleco. here are the pics Also here is the second little pleco who could be a ranger pleco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
