Rabbit Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Its what is typically referred to as a chocolate plecostomus (Hypostomus Plecostomus variation), it will attain almost 2 feet in an aquarium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatfish Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Its what is typically referred to as a chocolate plecostomus (Hypostomus Plecostomus variation), it will attain almost 2 feet in an aquarium. Yep I agree it looks like a 'chocolate' or 'chocolate albino' pleco which is an amelanistic form (i.e. it lacks melanin (black pigment)) of the common pleco (probably Pterygoplichthys pardalis, but possibly also P. disjunctivus, or P. multiradiatus). So under good condtions it will get to 40 cm+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
