Nice find. How big is it? The eye color tend to change occasionally between white and blue.
I have two small one's in one of my tanks. Here's a pic:

cool thanks Im pretty sure mines the same as yours..hes about 5 inches and the guy I got him from (for free) said he wont get much bigger and he said he paid like 40 bucks for him...super cool plec though

I agree,

should get to about 10"-12" (most specimen in Aquaria stay smaller though) and cochliodon (some of them hypostomus now) for sure

I would say that is the fish from the secound pic.

Looks like L137, Cochliodon/Hypotomus sp. also known as candy stripe pleco

Planetcatfish gives it a name of Hypotomus soniae
