Now this one I DO know the name of and they are Green Phantom Plecos.
There is also a slightly darker and Blue form of these known as the.... BLUE Phantom Pleco, lol.
AS with most of the plecos outside the Common PLeco and Gibbiceps the rule of thumb is bog-wood, bog-wood and BOG-WOOD!

WHOLESALE SERIES: TROPICALI: SNOWBALL PLECO
Well I think that is what these are, he did say and I forgot and I am sure I asked if they were Vampire Plecos and he answered Snowballs.
But then there are so many and all Plecos go by the infamous L-Numbers now, with L meaning Loricariidae which is the family encompassing all sucker mouth catfish.
Many people do not do well with these because they are always bought as youngsters, some like the water to be a little less hard, mix some rain or RO water if your in a particularly hard water area like we are in London, and the do like to chew on bog-wood and this helps them to digest food.
