Pleco Id

[robertherrington]

Hi Just Wondering If anyone Could ID My Pleco I Bought It Originally When I Bought My Platies. If Anyone Knows How Large Itll Get Id Appreciate It

Looks like a common Pleco. I have one, they can get up to 18inches at least!

Have fun!

Looks like a Bristlenose to me.

Looks like a Bristlenose to me too. If it is then they only grow to about 6".

Looks like my Bristlenose (except mine has MASSIVE bristles!!). Keep an eye out for little bristles along the edge of the fins and if it's a male they get quite big bristles along the nose & head - my male's bristles are kind of in a Y shape. The females don't always get bristles and if they do, they are much smaller ones than the male's.

I like 'em - and they stay at a manageable size for most people!

Just to be certain you could post a better photo in the catfish forum.

definatly not a bristlenose......it looks very much to me like a common plec like fishkies said and yes they get very large indeed around 15inches or so....

gotta be a common

its just got its eyes closed extremely tight

 

[timmystood]

I disagree with everyone. I think it's an L022, Golden Nugget Sailfin Plec.. see here

 

[lilfishie]

i thought common at first but now not sure, another pic would be good possibly from the side

Try and get a pic from the side so we can see its face and fin. If possible

If it helps, here is a picture of my bristlenose from a few months ago (he's a bit bigger now) - it's a bit from behind, but you can kinda see his markings.
