Hi all, I just got these 2 pleco's at a LFS that were labeled "Leopard" but really look nothing like them! There were what looked like 2 different types of plecos the same tank one of which had a label on the glass stating "Leopard plecostomus" This store stocks ALOT of Pleco's that come from The Cichlid Exchange" down in Portland, Or. so was quite dissapointed these were not labeled correctly as most of their staff has very little fish knowledge except for the mgr. who puts in the orders! and was not available during my recent visit. Picutre #1 has both in the same shot, one on top edge and the other is in plain sight.
Any idea's would be great!

Would need more pics(side view) to be sure.

My first guess is a L001(Pterygoplichthys joselimaianus)

Second guess is a Gibbi/Sailfin (Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps)
