Rubber lip pleco

Well I picked this guy up at petco today for 3 bucks which I thought was a really good deal. In doing some searching for them I have not turned up a ton of information on them. Does any one have any good sites with pics and any info that you have on them would also be great. Thanks!

there are a couple different species commonly found for sale. . . . this is the family, check the pics to see what species. most often the chaetostoma thomsoni, but you should check the spots/stripe patterns carefully to determine what you have.
