I wish I could tell you myself...I'd definitely take a look at the link above as there are lots of pics for IDing.

My guess is, though, that anyone who could make a legitimate attempt at an ID would ask for a better pic. Easier said than done, of course...

Yeah there is alot of various pleco's with that coloration and pattern. I better picture would be needed to try and help you out. Picture of its underside would further help in the ID.

Thanks everyone for the input and for the link. Planet Catfish is going to have me busy for a while :) If I can get a better picture I will.

A better picture would be best but I do agree with it looking like a Dekeyseria sp. (L52) based on its flattened body shape and color pattern.

If I had to guess I would go with L-052. One thing about the L-052 is they change their color a lot, so you may not find a 100% match looking at planet catfish.

Where did you get it?
