That looks way better than the smooth slate I am used to seeing. Looks very natural and we'll done
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.
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 L001Interesting!

The one in the picture is a L001That pic of the multiradiatus looks very much like her!
