hi- i just bought this pleco and i need to know what type he is. my guess is a rubber pleco, but im not sure. oh, he was in with some nasty africans that damaged his fins, so i saved him. pet supplies plus people... thanks for the help!

It looks like a Common Pleco to me.

Welcome to AA by the way!

with those rays on the dorsal fin, doesnt look like a common, very weird pattern as well

he is gorgeous!! I can see how he looks a little like a rubberlip around the mouth area, but the finnage and coloring is definitly not.

Great find!!
