Theres a reason why you have never seen a common pleco like this. Becuase we were wrong, sorry about that. It is a L001 Glyptoperichthys joselimaianus species of tge gold spotted pleco, a bristlenose pleco. Get to a max of 25 cm

I found a L119 (I think that's starlight) for 10 bucks, so u never know!
 
THANK YOU!! That is it! Any info yall can provide would be nice! Also was 7 bucks a good deal?
 
If its trully a l001 then yes, lfs should call the cops becuase you just robbed them. They been seen from 60 to 100 dollars
 
Sweet! Im pretty sure that is it! Will it get a "bushy" nose? I have it with a bushy nose right now. Will they fight eventually?
 
Im really excited! I have been wanting a "premium" pleco for awhile! I just need a nice piece of driftwood!
 
It would be awesome if you got a cheetah pleco or a leopard pleco for that cheap!

Just remember that if you try to focus on color instead of pattern, it's going to go a lot harder because there are so many different color combinations. Just like other fish. I had a hard time identifying my pleco and it turned out to just be a bulldog =) a rubbernose. Ha!
 
I looked it up and the info I got on gobies was wierd. Some pics look completely different and a few said max size was under 3 inches. He is probably double that.
