Panaque cochliodon (Honda Blue Eyed Pleco)

FYI - Don't be tricked by others claiming to have Panaque suttonorum see below:

The Venezuelan blue eye panaque and the Colombian blue eye Panaque Panaque cochliodon have been confused in the aquarium hobby for years. Because the Venezuelan species is restricted to western and eastern tributaries of Maracaibo Lake, Venezuela it is never imported without this locality information being clear and imports are from Colombia.

All new imports are feeding on Fluval Bug Bites. To keep your new fish eating once they arrive please consider purchasing to feed them entirely on Fluval Bug Bites or mix in with your current fish food. I earn a small commission on each purchase which helps feed our new fish. You can purchase from the link below:

****************************************

This is a wild caught, possible short-body BEC. Not a farm bred fish to make it look like this.This is not a 100% confirmation that this is indeed a short-body or this is just how they are in the Honda region.

This is possibly the original BEC from Honda, Colombia which is this BEC's collection point.

To learn more about this fish please visit Planet Catfish.

Panaque Note:

Panaque’s frequently lose their odontodes. When imported they may or may not have any. Some photos we take may or may not show them but when they do have them, depending on how long we have them in stock, they may drop off at any time. The photos with odontodes at the time of import, may not have them when you receive them. They can grow back and or they not grow back. We can't guarantee your pleco will have it's odontodes upon selling. If you want a photo before purchasing pleco let us know.
