	Butterfly Pleco?
luisprado Hobbyist Posts: 81 Kudos: 156 Votes: 5 Registered: 02-Jun-2004	Has anyone every heard of a butterfly pleco? From what I saw, it sort looks like a zebra pleco but with different type of fins and a little bit of red on it's side. It's known as L-168. Here is a link to the picture of it.

The red spot is from the camera, and is not the fish's natural coloration. For a zebra look-alike, they are pretty darn cheap, just over one tenth the cost!:%) -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.
