what breed of pleco is this

That looks like a P Pardalis (aka Common Pleco)
It's a baby Monster Fish - grows to 12-16" inches fairly quickly

Lots of smaller pleco breeds, start with any of the bristlenose species.

Cheers

i was looking at planetcatfish, and found a flounder pleco are those rare to find or are they easier to pick up

Thats more than likely a common pleco, and will outgrow your 20 gal quite rapidly.

do you have a link?

 

[cmj15]

not now but will get one later but its number is L052

 

[davo]

oh... yeah. They are pretty common. Well at least L168 (Dekeyseria brachyura) more than the other Dekeyseria sp. L052. They are similar looking plecos.

L052 recently have made a splash in the US. The store brought in two, and Fabio's Dad just got 2 today as well. Very nice plecos.

 

[davo]

that's cool, I kinda prefer the L052's.

there are a couple others i was considering like the L081, LDA68, L144,, L271, and the L204, but i don't know which would be best to live with my green sunfish and yellow bullheads
