Is this a Peckoltia sp. ?
Hi everyone !
This is my first post on planet catfish though ive been looking through this site nearly everyday for the last 3 years and learning something new daily from it
Ive come today for help with the I.D of my loricariid, a little background ill try to keep brief i spied this bugger at a LFS labled as blue phantom pleco 1 week and the next week in an unlabeled tank so i asked the lady about it and she said it was bristlenose pleco at this point I already had a strong suspicion it was neither, so smiled and nodded and 10$ later was walking out the door with my new pleco after countless hours or looking through various species on planet catfish ive concluded it is most likely a Peckoltia sp. And ive rested at either Peckoltia lugani or Peckoltia brevis so I thought id take to the experts and let you tell me what I got
Thank you in advance for your time and without further wait heres some pictures[*]

You are most welcome to the forum. Pretty new here myself but am learning each day as well. Wouldn't say am an expert but i think its peckoltia multispinis. They are pretty similar looking and hard to distinct. Would love to hear what experts think. Welcome again!Happy learning as well.

P. lurjani, easy to breed if you have 2. my male always backed into his cave rather than going head first. They aren't extremely colored, but a fun fish to have. Enjoy your little one!
What's your favorite Dressing~~
