So Iā€™ve just gotten into the Fish Keepig hobby so itā€™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 doesnā€™t look to be a mustard pleco at all. Iā€™m guessing itā€™s a Albino bushy nose but I might be wrong . Can anyone confirms itā€™s hard for me to get a good picture . Heā€™s pretty skiddish and tends to not come out.

Maybe albino chocolate pleco?
 
I think you hit the nail on the head buddy . Kinda pissed they sold it as a mustard
Sorry for that. They obviously donā€™t know their plecos. Thatā€™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 Iā€™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.
