I don't know who told you it was a Hong Kong Pleco, I can immediately recognize it as a Borneo Sucker. Here's a jump-start on your research on them:Got a Hong Kong Pleco (sting ray pleco) from my brother in law. Anyone know if these need anything special in their diet? Googling hasn't given me too much info.

Chinese Hillstream Loach, Beaufortia kweichowensis, Butterfly Loach
Hope I helped!
Ok, well, now ya know that it's a Hillstream Loach (Known locally as a Borneo Suckerfish). Is he doin' pretty good? Sounds like they're a handful to keep!It was purchased from a local private fish store. The owner told him it was a Hong Kong. Supposedly the Guy breeds them.

Plannin' to make a trip to the LFS again?That link also lists them as Hong Kong pleco's. Too many names for one fish, LOL. Looks like I might need to get a couple more to keep him happy. They like groups of 3 or more.
Ohhhhh ok. That makes a bit more sense. I hope he does alright!I didn't buy him. I got him and a few other fish from my brother in law. They are moving and don't want to transport their fish.
