It's not a Sailfin(gibbiceps)...it's a L001, Pterygoplichthys joselimaianus

How big is it? Looks like it's 12 inches.

thanks for that, I have seen these a few times at my local fish shops and they were always labelled as sailfins?....I am far from clued up on all the various pleco types, but these have always caught my eye! and this is the biggest I have seen so just had to get "him"...."he" is around 12-13in yes :)
 
Sometime they get mix in with the sailfins for sale at the LFS, look much alike in body shape.
