What type of Pleco is this?

Post by ZorroRojo »

At the following link you will find a wonderful picture of a pleco: http://aquaticdwellers.info/ap_unknown.html

Someone told me it was a marbeld sailfin pleco. I came here to look that up and couldn't find it. So I checked sailfin pleco and found Sailfin Marbled Catfish. But those pictures don't look like the fish in this picture.

Can anyone here identify this fish for me?

I am impressed! I didn't think I would get a response that fast and I looked at all the pictures under that profile and a number of them look just like the fish in the picture.

Thank you very much!
