He's not a royal. Panaque have huuuuge heads. Maybe a hypancistrus or peckoltia sp.?

Top one looks similar to my butterfly pleco, except for the coloring. Same body shape ect. Pretty sure that's in the pulcher family.

The top one is what they call a Brown Zebra Pleco, I have one that looks just like it but don't know the sci name. Look on Planet Catfish under Brown Zebra Pleco. They should have it.

They all look like around 2" - 4" and with that color they haev they are most likly Clown Pleco's or Pretty Pleco's. One of those two i am sure of it. I know everything about them.

Lol clowns they are definently not:D

Soooooooo far the top one has been ID'd as a chocolate zebra(probably known as brown zebra).

The bottom one seems to be causing much confusion(even at PC).

Pl*cokeeper, what is a pretty pl*co?I cant find any info on them, do you know its L number.

I also just picked up a vampire pl*co and a baby royal...pics to come soon...!!!
