Does this look more like him as far as the head goes?

If this looks a lot like him you might have a candy striped. They are different than clown pleco’s in a few ways. They max out at 4 inches, aren’t the best at algae clean up as they are omnivores and need a varied diet, and they have the thinner head.

I don't know, his eyes look more like human eyes than the candy striped. Also, his head is more rounded and his mouth is smaller.

Hey, my pleco used to live in a 29 gallon tank but it is now in a ten gallon with two zebra danios and three shrimp. I've had it for two years and it hasn't grown any bigger than 3 to 4 inches. It is light brown/tan with a lot of subtle stripes. It has a more thin body build than most of the pictures I've seen online. If anyone has or knows about this fish I would greatly appreciate the help.

Maybe a Chinese Algae Eater? (A type of Siamese Algae Water)

I don't think it's a Chinese Algae Eater, it looks more like a clown or rubberlip pleco.

Hey this is kind of random but I didn't know where to ask it, what are points? I have 3 but I don't know what they are for.
