Okay, I'm going to ask a hard question... ID a pleco from a drawing. Didn't have my camera on me, but I THINK the markings are close... sort of.

LOOKS vaguely like a clown pleco, but the stripes are white. Possibly stress? Not sure... Looking at [link=planet catfish]http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/loricari/panaque/734_8.php" style="COLOR: #00A0AE[/link] I can't remember if the dorsil had stripes... but the markings are quite similar.

I can go back to the store and get a picture, I just didn't have my camera at the time. It's a chain pet store... "all plecos $3.99" so I was like... "ooo... what's in there?" Mostly commons, but some interesting ones, too, like this one.

Okay... no laughing, here's a rendition of my quick sketch...

Most definitely a Clown Pleco... Anything else that looks vaguely like them wouldn't be selling for $3.99.

I'm still saying it's an albino clown pleco kitten...and the pic isn't as bad as you were telling me
