Since you all are AWESOME, I bought this "White Dot" Pleco

You all have been AWESOME to me. I really appreciate it. It's so cool to be surrounded by so much knowledge and experience. While I'm at it, I may as well ask about my other plecostomus... When I bought it, it was marked "White Dot" Plecostomus. I really haven't been able to find anything using "White Dot" as even a common name. But when looking, I found some to be called Galaxy and some to be called Snowball. I felt like mine was closest to a Snowball, but that was just be trying to compare pictures. It was mostly just a guess. So, I was hoping some of you might be able to tell me if I guessed correctly or not.

Here's some pictures:

Wow! Just like that and you've tracked it down! Does it have a "common" name? Also, can you tell if the one I have is male or female?

Thanks!

Cat-eLog says it's called "Big White Spot Pleco". I'd also expect it's one of many plecs that has been sold as a snowball plec. To the second question, I think the fish is too young.

These fish need to be about 6-8" to be sexable, I think. Your fish looks like it's about half that.
