had this little guy for a few weeks, he does a great job at eating algae but hes difficult to photograph.
I managed to snap some kinda crappy images and I was wondering if anyone knows the species or L number?

He has the same lines in his tail in his dorsal Fin. so it is a variety of sailfin pleco?
 
Pterygoplichthys joselimaianus L001? I just did some research and that looks exactly like my fish! it was sold as gold spotted pleco or something similar. its nice to know it dosn`t get 20" long like some species

Someone posted on here years ago that they had one that was 17 inches. I think that was rare. Mine is 12 inches right now and still possibly growing more. I would think 10-14 inches would be the normal.
 
Woah that is abeautiful specimen! I certainly got lucky. I thought it was some variety of common or sailfin when I picked it up. thanks guys
