Chubby pleco i think

possibly, possibly a phantom, not smooth enough to be one,

Agreed.

Probably Parancistrus aurantiacus. Should hit 8 or 9" in length; I don't know if you consider that 'too big' or not!

I would have as a asked for a ( sucker fish ) for a 55l tank . They ( lfs) said that it would only grow a few inches. As you can see I have a bigger than 55l tank now it's 190l so should be fine but that would have out grown the 55l right?

It'll out grow the 190 too in a few months/ years. Plecos grow fast.

What to do when it's too big?

 

[PlecostomusPerson]

rehome it or get a bigger tank.
