What pleco is this?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
WArborg, the -Pterygoplichthys pardalis- has fully spotted pectoral fins even when young (from that link) and mine has one large dark spot.
 
The pattern on their body and fins change as they grow. I've had P. disjunctivus start off spotted and as it got bigger they turned to stripes. Even the color of gravel and lighting can affect their markings. The belly is the only true way to tell them apart

Interesting, thanks a lot! i've never seen a pleco so small, this one was literally a fry when I got it, practically 1" including fins.
