Well,this is Choqui my chocolate pleco.All I need to know is its scientific name.

I will appreciate any help.Thanx

The scientific name for the chocolate/rhino plec is Pterygoplichthys scrophus

Thank for trying to help.But I definately belive this is a different fish.
Mine is redish and has rubi colored eyes.
I am almost convinced that is some sort of albino.

 

[LadyMinion]

To be honest, looking at the shape and markings it looks like a juvenile red sailfin to me.

I think its an albino common... often called chocolate plecs.

 

[ramesses]

That's what I was thinking,too smithrc.This is my second one,and I was almost convinced it was an albino.Just because of the color of the eyes and the coloration seems to be a bit rare.
So,in that case,what would be the scientific name for a common plec?

 

[LadyMinion]

The common pleco is the good old hypostomus plecostomus.

Alternatively the Pterygoplichthys pardalis aka L021/23
