Very Rare Pleco - ID ?

[Miles]

Anyone have a clue what this is? A fish my exporter just farmed out of a new river that we have been farming.. No idea on species?

I think I will call it Tiger Hypostomus.. check out that ornate pattern!

looks VERY similar to my pleco, my fish has pretty much identical coloration and pattern to that one. i bought it as a sailfin, but who knows. i know that it looks very very similar to the one pictured above, maybe just a tad darker coloration

It's commonly called, "common pleco".

Of course, we all know there are several variants (or species) of "common plecos" under the same name; and your fish, Miles, is one of them.
