Is this a common pleco?

Post by boywondre »

Sorry for asking such a lame question but after looking at different pictures I find that I cant tell anything apart. I bought it assuming that it was a common but it seems to have a more muted coloration patern than many pictures of common plecos I've seen. To my eyes many of the pictures of differnt common plecos dont look much alike though.

Sure is Glyptoperichthys somethingorotheri from FL farms, it's just showing the stress patterning that'll subdue the normal appearance.
