Hi all , could you please help me identify this pleco. I bought him under "orange spot pleco" and researched them . Turns out their size is manageable for my tank. I changed the dirt substrate of my tank back to just sand so I could keep him. After even more research I am staring to think that this is infact not an orange spot pleco". This is worrying as I hope it's not a large species as I like to give all my fish a huge home. Thanks for your help.

Pterygoplichthys joselimaianus.... AKA L001 and Gold Spot pleco. Yours is very thin and needs some TLC. They get fairly large so I hope you have a good sized tank for him!
