Hi all,

I have just re-homed this pleco from a friend its a good 8" or so and has a pink patch on its tail, not sure if thats stress or what

the closest ive seen is a L035





it was sold to him around 13 years ago as a tiger plec

just wondering if anyone knows its ID please cheers

L075, para plec, good sized one too.
and yes the pink is likely from stress, just keep an eye on it, it could be internal bacteria, just watch to make sure its not spreading

ok cheers, i did think L075 as i have a smaller one already but the pink bits made me think otherwise, plus my smaller one is more yellow, this one seems more grey

It has been moved about a bit recently whilst my friend was shutting his large tank down, and its been living in a 65ltr for a couple of weeks, now i have it in with my L183 group in a 180ltr

i will indeed keep an eye on it, thanks again
