Another pleco ID please :)

[citizencurt]

Picked up two of these as L146, but unsure as they look quite different to the other l146's ive seen in the past, and also on any catalogue of them I have seen. Wonder what you think?
The pics are pretty dark, but they are actually white in colour - not albino as they do not have red eyes. Their bellies look almost completely clear.

Sorry the pics arent great!

Will get some better pics tomorrow, but what do you think for now??

Here are two more I took after I uploaded the last ones....

A rubber pleco... a Chaetostoma of sorts...maybe milesi or thomsoni

After some further research, I believe them to be Chaetostoma formosae, but agreed at this size it is difficult. Looking forward to them gaining some size as they are both beautiful.

very different looking pleco to whats available in oz.... :thumbup: hope you have a pair m/f

 

[citizencurt]

Hope so too! From above they seem quite differently shaped but the same length so fingers crossed!

Thanks! After seeing the info page, I am certain that is a 100% positive ID. Thankyou so much
