Hello people!
I´m Claudio, and I live in São Paulo State - Brazil.
Today, I went to my Local fish store and saw a beatifull 30cm pleco, identified as "Common River Pleco" with a really unexpensive price tag.
Brought home.
Since it has 6 Dorsal fin rays, I discarted the pterygoplichthys genus - And the Hypostomus is the most likely to be the right one.
Can you guys tell me witch species is this?

Re: Common River Pleco?
Cool fish. I'd go for not sure about the dorsal ray count, but it seems to generally match in colouration, but more over it's a more elongate species with a rounded head profile.
