Possibly a young Pterygoplichthys etentaculatus?

Thanks so much Silurus and Barbie!!
He is a really cool fish!
I think I'm aquiring a cat fish fetish :)

Silurus, do you know where there is another picture of this fish on the net?
I've searched and search and have gone in CIRCLES because of the name
and I cannot find this fish anywhere.
Thanks so much for the info and the welcome.

You can try doing a search for a Rhino pleco :) There are many pictures here at PC of them, and I'm sure you would get many results from google :)

So, then, Barbie,
How did you come up with Rhino Pl*co?
Really curious as I probly spent about 3 hours searching around
on the name that Silurus gave me.
Thanks!

Don't think it's a rhino pleco. My guess is either P. ententaculatus or Glyptoperichthys punctatus.
As for husbandry requirements, the sailfin plecos (Liposarcus/Glyptoperichthys/Pterygoplichthys) all have pretty much the same requirements. Search for any of these in the Cat-elog and you'll get the info you want.

I came up with rhino pleco because that is what your fish reminded me of :) I'm incorrect though, according to Heok Hee, and he is definitely the one with the information on the subject!

For the life of me, I cannot find a picture of P. ententaculatus BUT...that
Glyptoperichthys punctatus looks about perfect!!

Again, thanks so much for your guy's help!
