Sorry this isn't a great picture. But I do not know what type of pleco this is.
Petland Told me it was a butterfly pleco but after seeing othe rpictures of butterfly plecos I am not to sure.

Another question.
Do you have one? And is it normal for it to stay in 1 place for 2 to 3 days at a time?

I have kept spotted raphaels before (no longer have any), and it is fairly common for you not to see them much. They spend most of the day hiding (usually in the same spot) and are only active after dark.
