Sorry about the picture quality but those were the only pictures I could get. This thing isn't out much. The LFS was selling it as a Queen Arabesque, obviously thats not what it is. :) I was wondering if anyone had any ideas?!?

Looks kinda like an L-018 but it doesn't have the yellow outline on the fins

Yeah, I can see how the picture would make it look that way. We've got a gold nugget pleco and the spot pattern is very similar. Although this pleco's spots are white and the L18 has gold spots. I'm going to try to get a better picture tonight. This pleco has sort of a grey body with 3 slightly darker grey bands on it. The head shape reminds me of a zebra pleco. I'm not an expert on plecos or anything as I keep mostly african cichlid, Is there any hybridizing in plecos? Could this be some kind of hybrid?
maybe L-082 or L-30?? I doubt it but the only other two I can think of that matchs that "spot" description.
