Just got a new Pleco

[Web Gazelle]

I just got me a pleco for my 20 Gallon. It was called a Rubbernose Pleco at the LFS. I did some Google searches and found it's scientific name, Chaetostoma sp. I was just wonder if anyone else here has one of these guys? What are they like to keep? I red a bunch on the internet but I would like to here from you guys. Anyone here have a Rubbernose Pleco in their tank?

Correction: The scientific name is Chaetostoma Thomasi. Common names are Bullnose or Rubbernose Pleco. I just found it in one of my books. The fish in my tank and the picture here look identical. This book says they grow up to 6" and are excellent community fish. A good algae cleaner that won't get as big as some of the other Plecos do.
