It looks like my 2 plecos. My TLFs called it a "candycane" pleco but I think it is a clown pleco (Goto Planetcatfish for info). I Have had my for 6+years. They hide in plants all day or behind filter intake. I tought one of mine had died but he showed up after 6 weeks.

I do not think it's a clown pleco because the facial marking look like circles to me.

I have a clown pleco smile.gif.

It's definitely not a clown pleco.

Yeah i think you might be right there with the id, L147
Our suppliers sell these to us under their common name of tiger peckoltia even though this name is more often given to the L002
