Need Pleco Id Please!

[aquariagirl1976]

Hi all! I just bought this pleco today at my LFS. I thought the clerk told me that it was a lemon pleco, but when I do a search on them they don't look like my plec. Could I get a proper id please? Sorry the pic isn't great, I am down to using my camera on my cellphone right now. He looks like a common pleco, but ALOT lighter in color and skinny in body shape.

Thanks! Jennifer.

Yup my first thought was whiptail, nice catfish, can get quite long though I believe (Not huge, dont get me wrong )

That is most definately what he is...a whiptail. Once I got him out of the bag I noticed he had this long string (or whip!) coming off of his tail. Very cool! Thanks for the ID everyone.
