Pleco ID help needed

[mamapuff]

I picked this guy up for a dollar. There was a pleco sale, all plecos a dollar. I ended up buying a combination of rubberlips, Hifins, chocolates, and this guy I have no idea what he is. Any ideas?

It's not Pterygoplichthys weberi, it's a Hypostomus sp. The dorsal is too small and I count 8 rays, not the 10+ for Pterygoplichys.

yes.. i agree..

Hypostomus is the most easy to spot.. they are similar to sailfin pleco.. but their sales do not go all the way to the end..

very nice pleco u got there..
