I found this image and was wondering if anyone could ID this Pleco. I don’t have any info on it for size and such, sorry!

Hypostomus is the genus. In the
group of species I suspect, but they all look alike to me.

Thanks! It’s definitely looks like one of those. I agree they all look super similar. This one reminded me of a big version of the Peckoltia.

I see what you mean, but the head shape and caudal peduncle shape, combined with overall size, says
Hypostomus.
