Where the ducks walk on the fish, PA
I just got them today with a tank set up. 1st and 3rd pic are of the same pleco. I know the picture of the one is not very good and will try and get a better picture, but any ideas?

Its an Oscar there from south america lol.

Pterygoplichthys pardalis. From the looks of it second pic cant completely tell might just be fright colors. Better pic of number two would be very helpful.
 
Dang still hard to tell you should try putting food in there to see if it will come out of hidding and eat giving you a better shot at getting a decent photo. I still cant tell.

P. pardalis get bout 18" in length so yeah he will get big. Bigger then that oscar ever will. The other I cant say the same about for sure. When they were in there previous home did it have those same colors or did it look like the other pleco you got pictured???
 
They already had them in a tub, so I don't know if it is it's normal colors or not. I have the lights out for tonight as they have had a long day. I will try again tomorrow with food.
 
Hmmmm look similiar to pardalis but I dont think thats one. It does look like its from the Ptergoplichthys family and with the exception of 2 of them the rest get 18"+ I do like that second one though Ill see what I can find online.
