My fav fish finally coming out of hiding

[Mebbid]

It's been a long time but my L201 pleco has finally gotten comfortable enough to come out of hiding during the day I had to change to a black sand substrate for him to poke his head out at all and it took forever to get a picture of him because he would run away every time I came close to the tank but I finally got a decent pic of him!

Made me happy enough that I wanted to share

Very good looking fish! May I ask why are they named "L201"?

Because there are so many varieties of plecos they can all be labeled as L-***

Fair enough, thanks! I would name the L201 pleco a "Starry-night pleco" alternatively

Thanks! Even with the hefty price tag attached to him I had to get him as soon as I saw it. With all the species of pleco it is not even remotely fun trying to find out which species you have going solely by looks.

There's already a starlight pleco (L-127 I think). It's white spotted. I want one so bad. My LFS had them cheap but I already had a pleco.
