We've had him about six months, he is three inches long, we have no idea what species he is or even how old he is. He has grown since we've gotten him so he was a juvie when we got him. The color is a little off, he's mostly grayish brown with brown dots on his head and faint stripes on his body, although in this picture the dots are fainter and the stripes are stronger than in real life.
He looks just like Hypostomus plecostomus to me EXCEPT his dots don't extend down his body like they do on the specimens in the cat-elog, but I understand most plecos coloring can vary according to diet, mood and environment.
What do y'all think? Hypostomus plecostomus? If so, how long will it take for him to grow his full length? My brother has a large pleco, but since he's twenty years old I don't recall how long it took him to grow to his full length.
