New Pleco..

[Slipstream]

Hey.. Im curious.. what kind of Pleco is this?.. Im thinking he may be a common pleco, but he has a substantially lighter brown coloring to him. I will post a pic of them side by side to show the color differences..
Sorry bout the quality of pictures.. Im not that good at taking them yet.. lol

Thanx for any Ideas.
Chris

I think it is a Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps "sailfin pleco"

Hi there,

I agree with Bryan the Red. It is definately a (Sail Fin). Here is a link to a picture and what some people had to say about them. I have had one as well, they are pretty neat, especially when the Fin stands up in the air. :)
