He looks exactely like my common and my common has very nice tall fins too and bright gold colouring like yours. Just b/c they're called common doesn't mean they're ugly, plain and look like all the rest. I hate the word common but there you have it. Yours is still a common non the less but as MrMashashin said one of the best plecs.

Mine loves Wardleys Brine shrimp pellets, algae tabs and spirula cichlid pellets. My pleco will also eat any flakes that i feed the fish IF they ever reach the bottom.

Just remeber that plecs are nocturnal.
Mine eat algae wafers, sinking shrimp pellets, blood worms. Try also blanched veggies. I always feed my fish just before I turn off my lights.

That first pic looks almost like a chocolate plec, but the rest look like a common. Cute fish As earthgirl noted, plecs do most of their eating/activity at night. I've found that mine will eat pretty much anything, but algae wafers are like crack to them. Mine seem very mild mannered until I drop one of those in there. Then they go nutts! For a small plec like that half an algae wafer before bed should be plenty. He'll get the rest of his diet from keeping the tank clean

EDIT: you can see my chocolate in the background of my sig on the right hand side

from my reserch plec go crazy for algae warfers even when the ligths are on

my can't/don't even smell it, maybe he has some smelling problems? he eats food that are infront of him..
