Bought this labeled a galaxy pleco. Tried using planet catfish's ID numbers but I'm not expert and so many look alike. Just wondering its L #, so I can figure out it's diet and growth and such. Been eating Zucchini so far. Thanks

:popcorn:yo i dont have the L number but i believe its a vampire pleco
 
I must agree. It looks like L029 and they are a fairly common "fancy pleco". Very nice specimen too.
 
It's Pseudolithoxus anthrax.

Easily distinguished from any of the 'galaxias' Leporacanthicus due to it's extremely flattened body, broadened head and extensive odontodes across it's 'cheeks'.

I have to agree I was thinking the same... too flat and the dots are too rounded(vampires have 'smeared' dots on them).
