what kind of pleco?
hello everyone, i have 2 plecos in my 44 gallon tank and have no idea what kind they are or how big these ones grow, they are black with sort of yellow stripes all over, i think 6 " is the max with these 2.
i have gone on loads of sites and can't find the information we need, i love these little guys but if they are going to get too big for the tank i don't want to stunt there growth, any help? |

plus the strips are straight, like a ruler and far apart and they are bordering on more of an orange colour

www.planetcatfish.com has a cat-e log that you can look at with pics. Its a good site for ID'ing plecos, although there are tons of them on there.

"they are black with sort of yellow stripes all over"
