I cant get a pic because they are never really out but I keep the following
LDA30's(proven pair)
clown plecos
rubber lips
and over a dozen bnp's
I think the LDA30's are kind of rare, I find them priced at 40 british pounds each, I got mine on a trade for some plants.

It's because there are just so many of them, it's hard to keep all the names straight (and that'd be a huge book of names) - so they catalogue them by L###.

Now my own contribution:
L066 King Tiger Pleco, courtesy of HN1 and SeverumMama's awesome aquatic care.
He's a lot sharper in real life, but he's small, and fast, and I don't own a good camera.

Thanks a ton Vircomore! We are so glad you like your new pleco.
Here is another pic of Vircomore's L-066 pleco, a few weeks before we shipped him out.

Yep! He's definitely one of the more shy plecos I've seen. Ever since I added him he's made the hollow legs on my center stump ornament into his home. He'll scoot out when some extra flakes come down - but otherwise he just chills there and yells at those crazy mollies when they swim all over his dang lawn.

Just thought I'd provide another picture, managed to sneak up on him while he was sneaking around and also managed to get my phone into Macro mode. ;D
