Tom

I am hoping you mean 5-6 inches and not 5-6 feet? I have no idea what type of pleco it is. Have you tried planetcatfish.com?

Oh you've not heard the half of it. I've heard these meanies get to 5-6 miles in certain places!

Dave, in the absence of your silliness, I HAD to take over!

COBettaCouple

yea.. well 5-6 miles is ridiculous.. it's 5-6 kilometers! :P

Is it a candy stripe pleco?

Butterfly

Looks to be some kind of Peckoltia to me, really hard to tell. Check these out and see if any look familiar. http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog...enus_id=18#225

i would say either clown pleco...or pitbull pleco

Allie

It doesn't look like my clown pleco. It's too dark...I wish I could help you but iding plecos is hard.

Butterfly

Any chance of another picture?
Carol

Kevin

im not a pleco expert...but i saw some little pitbull plecos a while back, and thats about the same markings...do a google search on pitbulls and see if thats what it is

Butterfly

The markings are right for all of those but it looks to long and slender.
Carol

Kevin

that pic is really big, so its hard to tell, but the pitbulls i saw were slender, compared to other plecos

Butterfly

yep the ones I saw today were also but theres just something about the proportion of the tail to the rest of the body thats nagging at me
Carol

Kevin

well, i'm no expert...and you are, so...you win

Butterfly

No I'm really not I have seen that shape somewhere and I can't remember where and it's driving me nuts! I went fishie shopping today and looked at all the plecs I could find and nothing rang a bell.
I did get 9 otos for $2.99 each and 8 striped kuhlis for $1.99 each it was a steal in any case. they are in quarantine as I type
Carol

Kevin

well, your more of an expert than me
congrats on the new ones...i would love to get some kuhlis...i got 5 serpae tetras, and one albino longfin cory today

Butterfly

Wahoo!! Must have been a good day to shop for fish
Carol

Kevin

hahaha
everyday is a good day for fish shopping

Butterfly

yep I totally agree!
Carol

Kevin

i was about to go get another paradise (since my female jumped tank on me) but then remembered your not supposed to add a bunch at once
looks like i get to go fish shopping again in another week or two

Bill

Just came to mind because of the forked tail.
