Hello, I'm trying to determine the sex and type of pleco I have! pics are attached, tried to get all sides but none of my top view photos came out very well.

Thanks in advance!

It's a Pterygoplichthys pardalis(common) and sexing is pointless as they will not bred in a home tank, they need mud ponds.

Be warned they can reach 2 feet... and will outgrow a small tank.
