Which Pleco is this?

Post by chbgator »

Was sold under the name Commmon Pleco but I want a posotive ID before I drop it in my DIY 600G because its got an Epoxy finish on the inside (sealer) and I want to make sure this isnt going to get some freaky teeth that will let it chew a hole in the tank somewhere! Thanks!

I'd guess Pterogoblichthys gibbyceps, but I'd rather see the sailfin on the back in full glory before I will say definitely Pterogoblichthys
