He was only isolated for a photo session.
He's quick, and doesn't come out very much. He's usually hiding within my tank decor.

I'm mainly asking because he's going to be relocated soon (bad advice from the LPS...) and am quite curious as to what type of Pleco he is. I'd say he's barely 2 inches right now.

Right now he's in a 10 gal, possibly to be relocated into another 10 gal. Or, if 10 gal is too small, I'll sell him to the LFS for a better chance.

Rubber pleco?

That looks like him yeah. Except he's much, much smaller.

7 Inches long...
I think I'll take him to my LFS...I'll get some Ghost Shrimp for my sister's tank instead of this guy.

Thank you for the name.

I've seen small ones at the Petco near me. I recognized him by the big, cute lip. Too bad you only have a 10 gallon... but good decision.

The pictures arnt great but the body colour and the dark red eyes point it to a "chocolate plec" a common name for the orange/brown colour varient of a common plec

If it is your looking at 12-18"
