I suggest you try to ID the catfish/pleco before bringing it home. There are tons of pleco species and alot of them get pretty big, so it would be best to know what you are dealing with. Also, not all of them are algae eaters, so you really need to know what kinds of foods to feed them.

If you can take a picture of the un-ID'd one, a number of people here may be able to ID it.
