Hello, its very hard to ID plecos! Anyway, looking through the planetcatfish catelog, a bunch of different plecos look like mine. I thought it was just a common, but a number of others look similar, like L012, L060, L078, L087. L117, etc. Anyway, whats a common plecos L#? Here are two pics of mine, hes about 7":

Not a trinidad. Not enough dorsal rays. If it is'nt the L-011 like stated before I would say a hypostomus sp. of some sort, and they are sold as "commons". There are many hypostomus that look similiar so getting an L# may be difficult.
 
care is the same. you want a 75g at least long run, poops alot, and are tough as nails.
Might be hypostomus plecostomus
