Hi I am new here and I saw a pic with a black pleco with purple stripes. I also read several articles where others have seen or owned them. (none on here though) But in the last few weeks of searching for this beautiful fish I can't seem to find A L#. I have been to several sites and searched their whole list reading every discription and viewing every pic posted but no such luck in even seeing this little guy again. My interest is to purchase one or more (if they are not dyed) does anyone know of such a fish, where to find one and the L# of it?

yeah ill look for the articles again. Also I could probably find that pic I saw of the first one its just not my picture and would hate to get in trouble for the repost of it. but I guess some things may be worth the risk beacuse I want to find out more about this fish.
