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 , 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!

Here a pic of a couple of babies that we ended up having in the tank. The bigger still hiding. does this help with Id'ing

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

The breed easily

Easily an understatement! every couple weeks it seems
