Looks like a red spot or gold spot (L001) to me. Someone more knowlldegeable will prob be able to tell you which exactly. Either way if it is I have found them to be very hardy, easy to feed (they eat about anything and compete well with other fish), but they do get very large (15" + ) and produce a huge amount of waste

A clearer picture would help but from the pic you posted it looks more like an L001 than a Gibby

Here in Canada, the common name for L083 is a Sail Fin Pleco.
Sorry about the quality of the picture
I'm confident that he is a gold spot (L001)
Thanks for all of the responses
