Snowball or Snowflake

[CR77]

Hi
I could do with some help to identify if my pleco is snowflake or snowball, I think the shop said snowflake but I can’t be sure.

thanks for any help

Hi,

looks like Hypancstrus contradens .

Snowballs = Baryancistrus sp. "L 142" have a skin between dorsal fin and adipose fin. In the first picture, both fins appear clearly separated.

Greetings

Thanks Elko
Looks like it’s a 201 then, I don’t see it much at the minute as it’s a fairly new addition around 4 weeks ago,
I also have a nice L310 Rusty who’s coming along a treat and growing a lot faster than the L201 so I was trying to establish what sort of size they will grow to,
I have them in a fluval shaker 252 setup, I’ll get around to taking some pics and putting an intro together
Thanks for the ID
Carl

I’ve also checked on the shop website, they have them as L201 Snowflake, would that be right ?
