based on the ones I have: they are shy, they stay small (3" or less) and they are supposed to do well in planted tanks . . . would be a good idea to have some driftwood in the tank for them to chew on . . . pretty sure they are mainly vegetarian, but I haven't seen much sign that they damage plants

Looks like "clown pleco"? if so, fairly sturdy little guys that will eat anything from algae, to fruits & veggies and meaty foods(bloodworms, brine shrimp etc...). tend to be secretive( not too many plecos that aren't right? lol). Have fun!!
