I'm 90% sure that it looks like L-001; P. joselmani. The third pic shows the figure 8 shaped dot/blotch indicative of L-001. Need to see dorsal fin shape to be certain. If it's L-001, they grow to 8".

Looks like it could be Acanthicus Adonis, but probably not if it has be 2.5" for 2 years. Acanthicus Adonis gets to almost a food, and has very long flowing caudal fin filaments. Here's a close up picture.

Here's a close up of Pterygoplichthys Joselimainus, L-001.

ohh, i dont know, ive been looking through planet catfishes files and so far she looks like a normal BN but her spots are yellower, almost like a males. maybe that was why see was a "gold" one? Hey Andy! i know theres like 3 andys on the site, but i bought this pleco of one of you at a auction, i beleive it was an oct one 2 years ago, after it was over, for 20 bucks. Do you know what it is?

Got some new pics. I was pissed that they turned blurry on the pc, they looked clear on the camera. but atleast hear you can see the colour of the spots better.

She said it's been that size for a couple years - so I'd say the Sailfin Pleco is not a valid option.
