Id this Pleco

[Lucas Fontenele]

Hey guys, just bought those guys yesterday and I want their ID so I can study them.

Im new to plecos, so I want tips for this species also, principally feeding habits.
Already provided a nice tank, with good oxygen and flowing water. pH around 6,5.

Looks like a hypostomus to me. Have some driftwood in the tankard should eat about anything wafers to pellets to veggies.

If you can get a couple more pics of it from head on and a non stressed coloration

Thanks, already provided nice driftwoods for them..
Btw, how to generally sex plecos?

Ive read the pics topic, and took some as they said(I got only from the bigger one):

I'd say possibly a L60 or a L130. Best I can come up. And IMO its rough to sex hypostomus. Good luck maybe one of the other Pleco gurus will chime in

haha I though was hard to ID Crenicichla or Cichla, but my conception changed after searching a bit for this pleco..

Thanks for the advices in2cichlids!

Looks like a Hypostomus Plecostomus to me...better known a the original 'common' pleco. Note: there are 3 types of commons nowdays.

Thanks for the tips. Have you guys ever heard about then breeding in captivity?
