considering you payed that little for him it isnt a gold nugget, and being as though he has white tips then he must be some thing nelly has suggested

I'm pretty sure its not an ancistrus (bristlenose)
I'd say its one of the Pterygoplichthys species

edit: looks to be a Pterygoplichthys joselimaianus
