| I've never heard of them before and a quick search turns up very little information. A scientific name or possibly another common name may help. |

| Dang. How this one get lost.
I remember running across these guys in that fancy pleco book I won.
It's Red Tailed Sternella which may be why your searching wasn't showing much. Anyway, it's a L114 Pleco and also called a Leopard Cactus Pleco.
They're spiffy looking and according to the book they get 10 inches, they get little red bits to the tips of the fins. They're egg-nom-a-riffic, but it says you could keep one with calmer cichilds like angels, discus or other non aggressive fish. |
