Pleco ID for a friend

Post by Amneris3 »

Hi all,
I would appreciate some help with 100% ID on this pleco. It belongs to a friend, so these are the best pictures I have.

It was labeled a "Rubberlip", not sure if that is correct though.

Thanks!

I was thinking maybe a bristle nose too.

The fish is about 2.5" and came from a large chain store.

Looks the same to me. Thanks.

This was probably a really easy ID, but when you're told one thing by the seller, it's hard to get that idea out of your head.
