Hi, from that angle he looks just like my Pleco who is either a Common or a Sailfin. I have never really found out for sure. Mine is 10 months old and is 12" They are great in every sense of the word!
Hi, I bought him last May and it was 2-3". It was sold to me as a Bristlenose! They offered to have it back. I responded to an American man's website because he was talking about Commons and told him about my Pleco, he didn't call me a liar but I know he didn't believe the size of my Pleco! I have called him Buster (tankbuster!). He truly is that big and he is also wide across the head. I had to get a 65ukgal tank for him. He eats well as you can imagine.
I bought my first plec yesterday he was labeld as a "gold plec" although he looks albino
hes currently about 2 inches long and being fosterd in my friends tank untill my tank has cycled
