Cactus Pleco?

I have an extra 55gal tank, and at my LFS they have a very interesting pleco that they labeled cactus pleco! Does anyone have a clue what the L number or latin name is of the guy because I would like some further info. to make sure I can take care of the cat properly. On the ID of him the pleco is about a 10in. red on the edges of all the fin's. With dark black of the other parts of the fish. Also the pleco seems a little more scaley than other pleco's I've ever seen! They want nearly a 100 dollars for him, but he seem's to have his own personality and I just couldn't take my eyes of the fish.

Maybe a Pseudacanthicus sp?

Check out L24 in the Catelog, maybe L25.

Like the others say its probably a pseudacanticus of some sort look through the catelog to find it. Cactus plecos is a general term for the pseudacanticus. I have seen it most often used for the L-24 but they are all cactus plecos due to all the odontales(stingers) in long rows down their back. Really beatifull plecos. But a 100 $ sounds like a L-25

Im hopefully getting some myself soon
