Hey guys im having a **** of a time looking up my fish. I am trying to find the name of it. Its an algae eater, sometimes called a dwarf pleco. Its name is something like talmeki. Anyone know what it is? Thanks
 
I just tried takin a pic but my tank is too dark. It looks like a pleco with white spots and the males have like wiskers around the mouth if that helps...
 
Perhaps you meant "temminckii" (thus the bristelnose Ancistrus temminckii). And yes, these are indeed in the same family as "plecos" (Loricariidae).

Yea went back and got the name and that is what it is. Says they normally stay under 5 inches.
Thanks guys
