Hey all.
I just thought I would add a photo of my leopard plec. I finally brought him home yesterday and today is the first time I have seen him!

I just like 'chillin' by my wicked zen pot!

Now who's been eating my food?

I'm not very good with plec identification - but is that not a leopard sailfin plec (Glyptoperichthys gibbiceps)?

if so, it's a 20" fish when adult
 
My lfs who we have been friends with for over 20 years told me it was just a leapord plec and that it shouldn't grow too big. If it does I will have to buy a bigger tank a nice excuse for the missus lol!

edit: I have just looked on Google and it doesn't have a sailfin as such just like a normal plec!
 
I had a search on planet catfish, but can't find a close match to your photos.

maybe post in the Plec sub-forum here to get an accurate identification?
 
i think its a l114 or clown plec http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/34967-clown-pleco/
