Not sure what kind of sucker mouth ?

So I’ve just gotten into the Fish Keepig hobby so it’s normal to get sold the wrong fish, well the fish is named 100 different names depending on seller. My local fish store named this guy a mustard pleco but doing some minor research it doesn’t look to be a mustard pleco at all. I’m guessing it’s a Albino bushy nose but I might be wrong . Can anyone confirms it’s hard for me to get a good picture . He’s pretty skiddish and tends to not come out.

Yeah, if he has red eyes, he’s albino. But which kind? There are sooo many!

I think you hit the nail on the head buddy . Kinda pissed they sold it as a mustard pleco.

Sorry for that. They obviously don’t know their plecos. That’s not even remotely similar to a mustard spot pleco. Some fish stores mislabel rare species or ones that have look-a-likes. You could maybe take him back? Although I’d feel too guilty about returning him, not his fault lol. Unless of course he would not be appropriate for my tank due to his mature size or specific water parameters.
