the new pic seems to show solid colour on the fin tips, it doesn't look like the first one.

But you can clearly see the yellow spots and yellow tips on its tail and fins...

sadly we can't 'clearly' see that because the picture is blue.

what phone/camera do you have? I want to look up the instruction manual and solve this once and for all!

It really makes no difference what camera it is, what he has done to make the pic blue or how the OP is trying to claim this is a GN.... the fish he has pictured everytime is a common bristlnose plec... end of im afraid.

Agreed. This is a bristlenose, as are these, and this, and this and these and all of these.

The 'gold'/tan/beige whatever is common and seems to be particularly obvious in juveniles - my female had it too and is definitely a plain, blotchy, brown bristlenose

Agreed. This is a bristlenose

and with that picture.......case closed.

 

[ATK!!!]

so how much did op pay for this "gold nugget" i have over 30 available if he wants them!!!

Smooth !!! I don't think that even now they'll want them though, seeing as they already have one..... derp

Look at the yellow seems running down the edge of the dorsal and caudal fins on the GN, the BN doesnt have these. The anscistrus is also flatter in shape, has paler dots and if its a male it will eventually grow 'bristles' on its face.
The two could look a lot less similar to an inexperienced eye but the few differences are fairly obvious.
If you struggle with fish that look similar L numbers arent going to float your boat.
