Need help identifying a pleco

Post by KGlo »

I bought this little fella at my LFS for $4. It was sold to me as a common pleco but it didn't look like one (that's why I bought it!). I was hoping someone could tell me what it is. And I'm sorry the picture is so bad...

I know it's some kind of bushy nose pleco but I'm not sure exactly what kind.

Bristlenose plecos are very difficult to accurately identify. To be honest, it just looks like a "common" bristlenose, in this picture.
