i think it to be a leopard cactus pleco. not sure it looks kinda like a leopard in the body, similar to a gibbi markings but has a white tail with a slight hint of pink. i think its a leopard. owner doesnt know what it is. hell be in tommorrow. hes asking 20$ for a 2"er is that decent? im gonna try to talk him down based on him not knowing what it is. so is it just juvi coloration? any other suggestions as to what it may be? the faster you lemme know the better.

How disappointed will you be if it turns out not to be a cactus?? If you won't mind, go for it!

Have you got any pics yet? There are several fish they could be. The juvenile scarlets L25, we have at 3inch are very dark with not much in the way of red yet in caudal fin. Look forward to seing them.
