I need a confirmation of pleco species.
My sister gave me a pleco recently and im not really sure what species it is. I did some research online and I think it looks like a Ancistrus temminckii(Bristle Nose Pleco). As well there is some white bumbs around his gills. Im not really sure if its a bacteria infection because everytime I poke it It pops out. weird. thanks.
here are some pics.

Definitely a Bristlenose.
 I'm not sure what the bumps on the gills are though.He's a cutie!

Yeah, for sure a BN. Good lookin' little dude, can't tell ya what the Bumps are eather... My guess would be that there from being introduced into a tank before it was all the way cycled (most likely caused by ammonia) but agan i'm not sure. Reguardless looks healthy other than that, best of wishes for 'em

Ive just been reading about this and it seems the spots are a sign of stress. Check your water parameters and keep the tank normal and healthy....the spots should go away soon!
