pleco id
 

ive had them years and they were sold as sailfins i now know this to be a term that covers alot of plecos so what are they?http://www.fishforum.com/userpix/729_onawafer_1.jpg

It's a sailfin, AKA Gibby.

ok great i thoght sailfin was just a term lumped on several species i do love the nostrils on this guy they look like a pair of horns :P

You should see a rhino plec, really big nostrils alot like horns :D

Its a goldspot plec L001

Here's one of mine

that is a nice fish BUT the fish we are I.D'ing is not a spotted L001, they are named after there pattern (gold spots on a dark backing)
this fish has not got that, look at its ZigZag gold lines

I Vote

Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps L083 / L165

i think bolty is right. 99%!!

I'm still not convinced its a gibby.

i own two ones a lighter shade than the other but the pattern is certainly not spotty its more of a zig zag pattern like the camo on a german tank
