I think this guy was mislabeled when I bought him. Any help please? Sorry for poor quality. I dont care what he is. I just want to be sure I provide him with the propper housing set up and tank mates.

He was sold to me as an l001 but his body spots are more grey than gold/yellow do they color up as they age?
If it a true sunshine pleco then yes. Not that great with plecos but that’s what it looks like to me.

I'm no pleco expert, however if I had to guess it'd be Hemiancistrus guahiborum aka L106.
Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
I have gotten sunshine, mango, and orange seam. If he is a 106 then def not the beast I was expecting for our big tank but we can make him a home no matter what. He's much less shy than any other plec I have had we really like him.

I think renegade might be on to something. There are a couple cats on the pleco forum that are pleco savants that will chime in. You might have to give it a couple days, though!
Nice pickup!
