Here's my "big beauty"! HighFin White Spotted Pleco (that's what I bought her as, though I can find no info on that description, lol).

If anyone has a more accurate name, it'd be appreciated :)

(I have the canopy off currently, so things are a bit brighter at the surface than they normally are).

Gold spot pleco (Pterygoplichthys.joselimaianus)

Interesting! She does look a lot like some of their pics, but the page on PlanetCatfish indicates that they only get to ~12" - and she's 18" easily (the height of visible glass in the tank is 21") - I actually never measured her like that before ;) And fwiw, her spots are really more white than they show in the pics.

Hmm...if that's the case then I'm not entirely sure then haha

Maybe Pterygoplichthys.multiradiatus then? I've seen a picture of one that resembles your pleco, but maybe it was mislabled.
Not 100%, but here's a link:

Panetcatfish is not accurate on their sizes. I think it's based of of what they hear. Someone on this site had a Pterygoplichthys joselimaianus/L001 up to 16 inches. It could be a hybrid between a common and a L001
