Somewhere else, as I am banned...
We bought this fellow about 8 or 9 months ago. I'm certain he wasn't labelled as a common and that I paid a little more for him, but I can't remember for the life of me his breed. I suppose he may be a common after all... :dunno:

Here's a close up of the front;

He also has quite a tinge of red along the end of the caudal fin.

If anyone has any ideas please put them below.
 
Looks like a gibby to me. If I'm not mistaken, Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps, the "sailfin pleco." I'm not an expert on plecos, but I know I'm close. :) Beautiful fish, BTW.
