Name That Pleco

Recommended Posts

This juvenile plecostomus is 2" long, new to the tank 2 days ago along with 10 juvenile guppies. The tank hasn't cycled yet.

It spends its time making laps around the glass, about 3" from the bottom -and- browsing the driftwood you see in the photo. Not interested in hoovering the sand substrate; not interested in those yummy veggie wafers either. not to say it's not feeding at night tho'.

So I've tried to identify this little busy body. What say you?

Symmetrical bristles have shown up along its schnoz; the two middle ones are 1/16" long.

It's dorsal fin has a yellow tip just like its tail, just not as prominent. Striking when it's raised. Too soon to identify?

Still looks like a common BN to me. If its a year old or more, the it's a female, but I still think its a bit young to tell.
