Thanks guys still not sure though, the L021 Pterygoplichthys pardalis on the web page looks very similar but the underside pattern looks more rounded and the side pattern is more vertical than mine. Don't know if this could be bcoz mines still immature. The Pterygoplichthys disjunctivus looks more similar to mine.http://www.plecoplanet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2326
Sorry I couldn't get any underwater he's really wary and likes his cave. But since I am re-sealing his tank I thought I might as well take some pics when he's out.
These are the only underwater ones I could find Back when he was still a juvie an I only had a 2mp camera phone lol.

It is a P. disjunctivus because of the wavy lines and not a P.pardalis... sorry Stan.
 
So It's settled then. Thanx for the help guys.
So just normal veg/fruit & wafers for this bloke or do they have other particular preferences ?
