it isn't a pleco...
at all
that much i do know
 
i guess i should have been clearer.. i have other syndo's so i know that it is that

i guess what i am trying to figure out is what kind of syndo it is .. i did go through all of catfish.com's syndo listings when i got him but couldn't find one that looked like him.

is there anything that i could look for in the way of characteristics to know what family he is from?
 
Check fishbase.org they often list the more specific characteristics, and they do have an ID process you can go through (counting fin rays, whiskers, etc). The tough part is that you sometimes need to know where the fish came from to use it effectively--it's a scientific DB, rather than a hobbyist one.
