I was at a lfs today and there i saw a pleco.
I asked the owner and he said it was an ancistrus butterfly pleco.Iam not sure if that is correct.
The pleco was not big..5cm,But he said that i can get to 15cm or more.he had long thin body and the tail was longfinned.he has also big side fins just like a butterfly.The price for this pleco is around 30us$.
I tried to find that pleco on some sites,but found nothing yet.
Anybody here who knows this pleco?

I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

I've never heard of an Ancistrus butterfly pleco, though I am familiar with the regular 'ol butterfly. Check out the link on Planet Catfish ([link=http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/loricari/dekeyser/706_f.php]http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/loricari/dekeyser/706_f.php" style="COLOR: #808080[/link]), and see if this is your pleco. From your description, it doesn't sound like a Hong Kong/butterfly plec, so I'm thinking that it is the one I linked to.



And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
