Any ideas on type pleco

Hi dmandm,

Welcome to Planetcatfish! And shoutout to another Central Californian (I'm a Stocktonian).

A more complete and clear photo of your fish would be helpful, but I suspect that's a bristlenose pleco. Possibly a common

Ancistrus cf_cirrhosus

, but based on the the blotchy color, maybe a calico or green dragon variant (sorry, we've got no photos of the latter). I'm not confident of that though, without better pictures showing the whole fish.

Cheers, Eric

I shoot for some better photos this weekend - seems to be camera shy!

Thew white tips in the tail say to me Ancistrus, most likely the common A cf cirrhosus

The breed easily
