What kind please!

I just got them today with a tank set up. 1st and 3rd pic are of the same pleco. I know the picture of the one is not very good and will try and get a better picture, but any ideas?

Good Ole common pleco!

That is what I figured. Are these the "type" of common that get huge?

A couple more of the 2nd one.

In the first post, 2nd picture it is a Hypostomus plecostomus . The 1st and 3rd look the same as a Pterygoplichthys disjunctivus , both as commons.

The Pterygoplichthys disjunctivus can get up to 24 inches.

The Hypostomus plecostomus at 12 inches

Some friendly advice......... That oscar looks miserable in a tank that size, he looks sick and the tank looks very narrow for an oscar that size. I suggest at least a 75g for a single oscar, a 55g is ok for juveniles but a 15" fish turning around in a 13" wide tank is not comfortable. Nice fish though!

Yeah, they came in today from a 125 gal. but I have to clean it and get it set up. The 30 is just a very temporary home for them.

They are back in their 125 now. They came with the tank, am not sure what to do about the HITH other than feed them better and clean water.
