New to plecos (id please)

[Paper Chasin]

Just picked this guy up on an impulse buy. Id please and maybe $ value?

kinda looks like a gibbicep (sp) need more pics to give you a positive ID

Its a Pterygoplichthys, perhaps a P. pardalis. These are one of the species referred to as 'common plecs' and they arent worth anything really. And since it was an impulse buy, you probably arent aware they have the potential to grow to around 16" and are fast growers.

that's a nice looking pleco
the common ones i see at my lfs look different(and worse) :O

 

[Kanta]

That looks like a Leopard pleco/Sailfin pleco

 

[thewaterboy]

i agree with Kanta

 

[Warborg]

I'm going to be different... I'll guess a young Pterygoplichthys lituratus
