Hi any pleco experts here that can help me identify my pleco? I got this guy a couple of weeks ago but the seller wasn't sure of its original type.

Ancistrus dolichopterus, L183, perhaps.

Hmm I don't think so.. It doesn't seem to have the white edged fins...

I couldn't tell from your pics, since they were not flared. Peek through planet cat under ancistrus family and see which matches

Thanks... I did.. But found a couple that looked really similar to mine..

So hard to tell the different ones apart..
