I just picked up a L128 Pleco yesterday from work. He's so f*cking awesome! Cost me a prettty penny for such a fish but I don't care. I've wanted this guy for months now. As soon as I get some pics I'll post em.

Can anyone give me the name of this little fellow and also doesn anyone know how big he gets? I do have a pic of a L128 that I will post here but it's not the one I just bought.
Thanks in advance.

Wow, nice purchase!!!

L128 is also known as Blue Phantom Pleco, and its scientific name is Ancistrinae sp. - PlanetCatfish link
It's a very close relative (possibly even the same species) as the L200 (aka. Green Pleco, Lemon Spotted [Green] Pleco, Green Phantom Pleco) - PlanetCatfish link

Note: they do get larger than what PlanetCatfish says: at least 10".
