They have been scientifically described as Panaque bathyphilus. Yours looks like its from the Ojo Chico.
 
thank you all for the help. Yea its mine. Its about 6 inches. I was also wondering what is its value? Is it easy to get?

Its easy to get when its small... like 3" I have one.. but at ur size 6" Thats at least a few years old.. not that easy to find.. because most wild caught L-90 are found deep in the amazon.. They are a deep amazon pleco... so large specimen at that size is tough to find.. I wouldn't sell it.. unless u are bored of it..

Price probably good $70 or more.. I honestly can't give u a good estimate of its value.. because its too rare.. I paid my 3" for $22.. so u get the idea of how expensive and rare yours would be..

from Aqualog book, loricariidae series.. L-90 is rate at XL pleco, 30-40cm, so 11"-15" max.. pretty big pleco
