ID my new pleco please! Anyone heard of "Popcorn pleco"?

Post by lmt6600 »

Hi everyone, i got this from someone today and I dont know the ID, Initially, i thought it was L48 but the mouth different. The former owner calls it "popcorn pleco" which im sure he made it up. Anyways any help would be appreciated so i can start educating myself about this guy.
Not sure why
