Modern Angl Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Just bought a Snowspot Pleco from Animates, but I can't find any info about such a species, does anyone know other possible names for it or any further info eg what it can go with, how big etc... best piccy I could get is below, its very dark off black colour, no spots on it that I can see. Edit - better piccy Edit No 2 - found a piccy on planetcatfish - Common Plec. image no 6 of 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatBrat Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 It looks as though it could be some sort of Ancistrus sp., but I can't tell for sure from your pic. I think what is usually sold as a Snowspot Pleco is something similar to L182, and it can appear to have no spots, but it has very, very fine white spots. A better picture would be a great help. How big is it? And if you dont mind what did you pay for it? Cheers, CatBrat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modern Angl Posted March 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 its about 7-8cm long and paid 50 bucks for him/her/it. Had a look at pictures of L182, he does look a bit like one of the pictures there but without any white spots on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
