    hi, seen this pleco in petmart last week but can't find it in scotcat.com.

    a picture of it is on the cover of Loricariidae all L-Numbers (Aqualog Reference Books).

    something like brown with orange spots and orange-edges on fins.

    can someone help? tks!
    P-L-E-C-O-R-Y=M-A-N-I-A!!! YEAH!

    Hi Coryfav ! L14a ! and it has a nice name too ! Goldy or sunshine Pleco !. Place of origin is Brazil but understand they're successfully bred in Taiwan hence they're not so x as compare when it was first introduced in the " Market ".

    It's one of my personal favourite ( I have 6 pcs ) !. Hitman ( one of my Plecory brother ) has a 12" fellow that he submitted for last year Aquarama competition but unfortunately it did not " attract the judges eye ". Man ! u should see this fellow he's awesome ! ! ! [:0]

    L14a are Omni ( I think ! ), they luv blood worms, Hikari Algae Wafer ! and cucumber !. Let me know if u need further info ! Cheers []

    Safe Diving !

    akoh, thanks very much for the info!

    12"??? wah!!! those i saw at petmart's were probably only about 2". hope it doesn't grow very fast![:0]

    with my L200 in my 3ft tank shouldn't be a problem, right? maybe later when it gets "too big", someone from here will get a free pleco! if i can catch it then...[]

    hmm, this is going to be another probability.

    allen, a qtn.

    i think i have seen L14 at C328 some time back. but the dosal fins r having the very large patch of orange but an adult's fin should be having only a 'line' of orange like L177 right?? but the belly (underside) of the pleco is slightly orange. so is this a definite indication of L14?

    must say its a very pretty fish and its true they r omni too like L46, L200 etc.

    btw any lobang for L46?? im thking (and hoping) to get my hands on them in the future. is there a season to get them ??

    Rain ! both the adult and juvenile L14a has a distinct orange colour on its entire body ( including the belly ) apart from the white spots. It's very much different from the gold nugget species that u have mentioned. FYI there is another species that look exactly like the L14a, L253 !,it has a light shade of brown on it's entire body but the the white spots are all over it's body, unlike the L14a which is only on certain part of its body BUT this fellow is very X !.
    June / July should be the season for L46 !, I'll let u know if have news, Cheers []

    thanks, allen! now i know why i couldn't find L14 in scotcat.com. it's cos the picture there is an adult, while what i saw in petmart was a youngster! indeed, planetcatfish mentioned that as they grow older, there'll be more spots and less orange...[:]

    rain, thanks for info on L046 too! opps, i didn't ask the price of L14 from petmart, cos it's a high-tension saturday afternoon when i saw them. very crowded and staff very tensed up! got the shivers and left very quickly.[]

    know something? everytime i see a nice pleco at a lfs, came back to find out more, then it'll be gone by the time i'm ready!!![:0] hmm, nevermind, be patient and start hunting around again, slow and steady!
