pleco identification

[Lobo.]

at my lfs over the weekend, i noticed one of their plecos looked different, instead of being the regular "dirt" pleco, this one looked like a very ugly gold nugget, unfortunately, i did not have my camera, but i will stop by with the camera soon so i can show you all... but any ideas on what it could be? it was very dark (but young) with little yellowish/ orangeish spots (very pale though) it had a white stripe on the end of its tail fin... it looked like a nugget, but with duller black and paler spots...

I'm just curious about what the chances are that this will end up growing to be about the size of a nugget, or will it probably end up being a monster of a fish?

i will get those picks in as soon as possible! c:

The nearby Petsmart to me just started selling rubbernose plecos, very similar color to the common plecos. Rubbernose are a "dwarf" species like the bristlenose and max out at 5 or 6 inches. I've never purchased fish from PetSmart, but I was very tempted.
Take care,

the petsmart near me just started doing the same thing. i picked one up, was the first fish i bought from petsmart, and he seems to be doing ok. i have him in a 10g right at the moment, as he is only about an inch long.

My petsmart had something different the other day. They had albino chocolate pleco's. The scientific name they had was the common pleco though (same price too). Not really sure what it was, since it was petsmart.
