With the white banding on the tail fin, red eyes, and shape of teeth, it's most likely L190

I'm agreeing with this. L190 for now

Thnx guys. I asked the gf to tell me the price so i can at least get closer to identifying. I know a teles wont sell for $30 lol but i also know an l190 wont sell for $500. She thinks im asking because i want to sell the fish. Lol

It has bands on the top outer tail.

It's a L190

Thank you again guys and gals. So based off the multiple l190s i guess i got myself a common royal

No no no! it's not a common pleco. It's one of a kind. It's a pleco purchased by your significant other for you!!! That's very rare in this hobby! now go buy her someone nice before she slaps you silly after reading your post........

Im probably having brain fart but I thought shape of the teeth pattern on Xingu is more v shape than u. Looking at the pic looks like its v shape. Or maybe I switched it? I don't have my laptop now for easier search on.my older thread.

Eitherway its a nice one
