Pleco indentification

[Leehunter]

Hi guys and gals. I have had this pleco for a couple of months purchased this as a bulldog pleco.

He is now approx 3-3.5" at the moment. And wondering if this is a bulldog or maybe a sailfin as i inputted on another thread and it seemed similar? Can some please confirm its identity so i can make sure i care for him correctly.

Thanks

My uneducated guess is a leopard sailfin pleco

Quick response thanks.

You could be right by what I've just seen but can anyone else help out or confirm.

Ol try and get a couple of more pictures also.

Looks like a gibbiceps (sailfin) to me as well.

Looks exactly like a sailfin that I had. I loved that little guy and hope to have another someday.

Here's another picture just to confirm.

Looks identical to mine which I've assumed is also a Leopard Sailfin.

Here's the thread where I did the same thing...
