That's a gold nugget pleco. Search the site for those terms and you'll find a lot of info especially in the catfish of the month section.

It is too young to sex.

Hey Candice

I got mine from King Ed's, I have no idea whether they still have any left or not.

YOu could also try Fishworld, they might have 1 or 2 lurking around their tanks.

Good luck!

Check ot Catfish of the month article on here. I should think it's L177, but picutres aren't "complete" enough to say for sure.

Really? I was under the impression that they were quite difficult to breed, IIRC.
