    Hi,

    I am looking for L255 to add to my comm tank. Been to C328 last friday but cannot confirm the pleco I saw is L255 (Betta tanks rack next to counter).

    Any bros here selling or sighted can pm me the size & price of the above mentioned plec? Thanks a million.

    those small Bristle Nose with white spots and white trimming at caudal in C328 are NOT L255.

    most probably L181.

    if the white margin at dorsal and caudal stay till adulthood, then it is L183

    Definitely not L235 (Pseudolithoxus Anthrax - flyer cat) as I have purchased 2 nos L235 on that day itself.

    They are sized at approximately 1" to 1½", some pieces already have lots of chew chew. Most probably L181 or L183 as what bro johannes has mentioned. My guess is L183 as the head is rounder as compared to L181 from dorsal view & the base colour of the body is also darker (jet black).

    Should have also bagged 2 pieces on that day

    Difficult to confirm as the size really small (but really cute ).

    By the way, are the L181 or L183 shy (always hiding round the clock)? Would prefer plecs that come out sometimes & during meal time with lights on.

    The uncle told me they are L235 and cost $10.... so if they are starlight bristlenose, is $10 too much?
