Can someone please confirm that the following pictures of this pleco are a
Pterygoplichthys joselimaianus
? It was sold to me as a Butterfly Pleco.

Sorry for the bad pictures but I can't find our good camera. Also you will note some skin discoloration. Is this normal? If this really is a L001 I am going to have to find it a new home as it is currently in a 29 gallon.

Thanks!
