I am sure Barbie should be around, but IMO looks like a cross between a striped rubbernose pleco and bristlenose, just the body resemble the striped rubbernose so much but it has bristle's. Barbie will know for sure

I know it is very difficult getting info from PC

Got to PC, in the little SEARCH box type bristlenose- I got back 7 pages of info for them.

Hi Mr,
It looks a common Bristlenose pleco. Ancistrus sp. It's definetely a male, as the females won't have any bristles above the lip area. It might be a different type of ancistrus... but Ancistrus are the only plecos that get bristles on the face. The common BN pleco (and Long fins) don't have an assigned L# yet. -I could be wrong- Hope this helps!

It's definitely one of the common bristlenose species. ****Probably Ancistrus triradiatus. ****Plecos that are described are not given L numbers, so this fish does not have one, and never will. ****Hope that helps!
