Hi Squwanto,
First, welcome to PlanetCatfish.
As for your pleco, I believe it is
, the "gold spot" common pleco, not a true "gold nugget" pleco (
). I hope you didn't pay too much for it - in Central California, a small to medium sized gold nugget will sell for $30-60, whereas a similar sized gold spot will be about $10-20. Also beware because gold spot common plecos grow much larger (about 30% longer) than true gold nuggets.
Cheers, Eric
