ID THIS SUCKER, SUCKA

very similar to mine

My pleco looks almost identical to this one, but is only a juvenile. It's classed as a sailfin over on pleco site. We named ours Speckles. They reported can grow to about 17.7 inches. Check that site out - others have told you the name - it escapes me at the moment.
