Pleco Id Please

[dollfaced]

I have a 9 inch pleco and I was wondering what type it is (the scientific name).
Is it one of these?
Liposarcus pardalis
Liposarcus multiradiatus
Hypostomus punctates
or somethign else.

I was also wondering how can I tell which sex it is. Thanks.

its a common plec when its up gainst the glass and if it has a little nub its a male they will not breed in the tank as they require large mud banks



cheers dane
