Can someone please ID my pleco?

[jalascano]

I'm guessing its a common but I'm not sure

How big is it?

I don't think its a sailfin, he looks a little sick though, cloudy eyes?

 

[jalascano]

its about 14 inches and i don't know his eyes have been that way since i got him

My friend has one just like that and claims it to be a 'pineapple pleco'. I don't wanna look up the L-number, just google it if you wanna!

He's pretty big, I think that rules out a few species, neat looking mouth parts though. What did they call him when you first met your fishy friend?

 

[jalascano]

thanks ill look that up and they just called him a pleco :/

It looks like a very old Hypostomus Plecostomus (common) to me.

i agree this is the best guess possible only having the pictures provided. without being able to see the dorsal fin raised, i think it is definitely at the very least one of the hypostomus species.

alright thanks a lot. ill try to get one of him with the dorsal fin raised
