Which pleco do I have?

Post by katyblue »

I bought this guy as a common pleco, but he doesn't exactly match up with the photos of the ones I have seen. can anyone help me out with what he is? His spots are in very even rows.

This is my son's tank, so ignore the blue rocks.... :roll: Also, I had to adjust the coloring of the photo to make this guy show up well.

I've been having trouble with the image when I preview the thread...here's a url also.

You guys are good! I had looked at that and thought that since "Mr. Clean" has such even round spots that it was a different type than the one pictured there. Thanks for the help!
