This little guy is my first pleco, however when I bought him the shop only listed his Latin name, something long that I have no hope of remembering. So I was hoping that one of you guys could help me I.D him.


Here he is munching away on a algae pellet. You can probably see a bit of his back fin is damaged, as he got fin rot within a few days of being in my tank. None of my other fish were affected and he is just starting to recover and regrow his affected fins.
Because I have a yellow filter over my tank's light he's quite happy to come out during the day, so if you need a better picture then let me know, as it would be quite possible to get one.
Thank you!
