Fish Junkie Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 If a Pleco has Gold on it it could be sold as a Goldspot dont mean it is ? So many fish look nothing like they did when small so as said above wait a while Its a nice looking fish either way FJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasman Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 It doesnt look like the similar sized goldspots Ive recently seen at my LFS. Could be a cross or poor quality gold spot. BUT! as others have said you'll really just have to let it grow and see. Might turn out to be a stunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
