Looks like a common pleco to me... and as the name suggest, there in every store.

They're pretty common around me. They can grow to have nice, bright yellow spots if treated well with a varied diet.
It grows a foot in length. Smaller than its close relative the Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps.

Is it worth £3 / $5 at 5 inch

 

[jabsthetank]

Might as well! It's $5 haha.
Yeah that's worth it to me.
Your call though. In a few years he'll be a foot so remember that.
It might act territorial if there isn't a lot of space in your tank too.
