id this pleco please

[brian1973]

i bought him as a common pleco but i bought it because of its coloration. he is about 3 inches right now and is living in 10g for now....he will be moving up to a bigger tank in a couple months..once i get my 100g set up.

NOT POSITIVE.... but looks like a highfin to me. they seem spottier and less splotchy than commons IME.

Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps, nice example, here's a linky-thing:

PlanetCatfish • Cat-eLog • Loricariidae • Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps
