EYE DEE please

Camera is crap, I can't take a pic worth a ****, and the tank is scratched all to hell and gone.... buuuut...

LFS claims it's a "gold pleco". Bought it as a common. A little expert help is appreciated.

Wouldn't he have pink eyes if albino?

His eyes do look pink in that pic..

Other than that, could be what the previous poster said..

I didn't take out the red eye

One of them does have pink eyes, but the pic I posted was the one with brown eyes.

The only "gold" pleco I know of that they could be referring to are the gold nugget plecos but that's definitely not one of them. It's an albino...common, most likely, but I don't know the exact species.

^^ i seen a gold spotted pleco like a common but with gold spots that looks like a albino to me

They call them Chocolate albinos. It's a form of a common pleco, yes. You can read all about them if you do a search for them on planetcatfish.com

. Good luck!
