Spotted Pleco? Or Sailfin Pleco??

[amandalynn.lewis]

I bought a plecostamus at PetSmart about 4 months ago and was told it is a Spotted Pleco. Today I was looking at pictures of the different types of pleco's, and it doesn't look like a spotted pleco, it looks like a sailfin pleco. Or at least it does to me. Can anyone tell me what it is?

Ya, definitely a sailfin, aka gibbiceps. If you don't have at least a 6' tank it's going to get too big to keep properly soon.

Thanks, that's what I thought
