Looks like the one in the FAQ but I was hoping for confirmation. It was sold as an "Asian spotted", not that that means anything.
thanks in advance

It's certainly a Pterygoplichthys. I can't say if it's joselimianus or some other juvie. Some of them change a fair bit from babies to juvie's to adults - check out the juvie pictures of
It's a probably a good chance that it turns out to be a joselimianus.

Probably as they are being farm bred in Asia by the ton these days. I suspect they will soon fall under the "common pleco" category in the hobby. Common or not, they are an attractive loricariid.

Thanks everyone. Always good to get confirmation from the experts here.
I grabbed 6 of them a short while back. As you said Shane, common or not, they are attractive. They are happily munching in various tanks.
