looks to me like a Hypostomus plecostomus almost, though the pattern on the rear looks different...
It is H. plecostomus. so will reach about a foot long. They are becoming more common than ever in shops, as they are farmed extensively these days.

Thanks, for some reason I thought it wasn't the common as I thought they were solid color and not spotted. Thanks again

That's still a pretty fish though. How long is it now?

Yeah, that's the coommon pleco. Put him on some black sand and he'll turn solid for you. With a red or white bucket and the right light they can turn orange to yellow too.
