Striped Raphael Pleco???

Post by JoshNorwood »

Is there such a fish?

In my experience the only Striped Raphael is a Catfish.

Scientific Name - Platydoras costatus


Am I correct that this is a catfish or is there a pleco I am not familiar with?

Like you, I'm only familiar with the striped Raphael catfish. But many of the "L-number" plecos have lately been turning up with common names that aren't yet widely circulated. So it's possible there's a pleco out there that shares the name.
