Blue Phantom Pleco (L128)

A pic of one of my newer plecos, an L128 Blue Phantom. This one is one of the rarer coloration's for this fish as that it has no green tinge (the theory is that an L128 and an L200 green phantom pleco are the exact same fish, only from different parts of the river they live in). It's a dark gray blue with light blue spots. He's also one of the most active plecos with lights on I have. He seems to be out looking for food more then he's hiding. I also got a great video of the blue phantom and a young bristle nose sharing an algae wafer. I'll post that as soon as I get it uploaded to youtube.

 

amazing to think plecos have coloration like this!

 

Got him at my favorite lfs, Uncle Ned's. They've been getting in a lot of rare and fancy plecos. I also now have a small colony of 4 L129's that I'm eventually going to try to breed. I was going to put all 4 in the newly setup 55 gallon, but the two that I originally had in another tank ended up coming down with ick so now I have to wait to introduce them to the other 2 that are in the 55. Also here is the video of the L128 and Bristlenose sharing the wafer.
