Unfortunatly I've got none at the moment. I'll see if I can scare up a new digicam soon and snap some good pictures
 
I have 5 LDA25's and 5 L144's . 3 of the bnp's are in my 40g comm tank and breeding like crazy. Also I have no pics but will soon. Would love to have some L046's but a little rich for my blood and pretty hard to come by

I used to have 2 from way back but for some reason RIP after 2 yrs, they were pretty big too. It was a common pleco, I want one of those green pleco with green strips or those bristle nose thats yellow in colour.

I have a couple on my want list such as:

gold nugget
adonis
royal
red fin cactus

but they would all be too small to put in my aro tank as my endlicheri would take it out in one attempt.
my african cichlid tank could house a couple...but they get pretty aggressive and chew up fins, like on my syno. cat and sailfin plec i have in there now.

I used to keep tons of plecos too but i find all they do is shit..... and then it fouls up the water pretty fast so i got rid of most of them

Right now I have a Rhyno pleco, big spot leopard pleco, 2 BN Pleco. In the past I used to have a bigger collection, but I lost most of them due to a bloat infection on my tank those pleco includes bluespot pleco, greenspot pleco, Gold nugget pleco....In my experience the hardest to keep and not last on me are the Gold nugget pleco...I have tried to keep them, but they always die on me ....

anybody know anything about baby l25 ? like r they black when they r little?

They should look like an adult but with less red on the fins. The fish could be black because it is unhealthy but that is just a guess. Or it could just be a different type of plec.

Where did you buy thei so called big spot? I could tell you what it is if I know the store you got it from. Since I have to guess I say L-163aka big spot peckoltia. The colours are realy nice on this fish so it might also be a L-075 with bigger dots. Most likely it is a big spot L-163
