Got it for free and the owner did not tell me what type of pleco it was....I have asked others but they seem to think it might be a L190, L191,L27...but no one is sure because of the stripe markings. I am not sure if you can see in the following pictures but his/her fins are all gold tipped if that helps. Length is currently 6inches.

good to know. Does anyone know how much a 16inch leopard pleco goes for? Also how much does 12.5inch common pleco go for?

I think this fish looks more like a L-418 than L-191. More pictures would help
