Spotted Yellow/Brown Pleco - Pet Store Mystery

Post by NoniRose »

I went to the store to get some feeder guppies and plants, mentioned the algae growth and made the mistake of taking the misinformation from the employee at face value. Got this pleco I'm fully in for, but believe I was heartily misled on type as well as, well, everything about care. I am leaning towards common pleco, but something seems off and it was in a small, crowded tank with some other fish and other pleco that were bullying the pleco so I don't trust my own ID especially so soon after purchase. Want to make sure I have the ID right so I'm getting the right care, food, tank size, plants, companions (or lack of), etc.

Hi Nonsense,

Welcome to Planetcatfish!

You're right that this is a common pleco, probably or .

Cheers, Eric
