what kind of pleco is this

Watashiwasakana · September 5th, 2009

it has white spots all over its body, and has white highlights on its fins.
im sorry i didn't take a picture

Snowball pleco?
Were the spots def. white? Could they have been yellow? It may have been a Gold Nugget Pleco.

Watashiwasakana · September 5th, 2009

im pretty sure they were white

it was really small though, 1 1/2 inches, so it was hard to tell

highlights were definitely white

one of the images was exactly what it looked like.
