My boyfriend and I just bought an algae eater and i really want to know what kind he is. Its nothing ive ever seen before. I tried looking online and am having a hard time. He is very small, and a blackish yellow color with medium size yellow spots. His stomach is even a yellowish color.
Please help! and if you have a website for me please add it in your response
Thank you!:-)

A photo would be excellent, that would solve the guessing game for sure
Could it be a gold nugget pleco?

It would take a while of looking through photos, but
http://www.planetcatfish.com
probably has more photos of catfish then any other site I can think of right off hand.
Hope that helps

hi what you may have is a Ancistrus. It is commonly known as Bushynose or Brislenose. to find more out you could go to en. wikipedia.org. and type in algae eaters.
Hope this has been helpful.
p.s. I have one just like it.

Can you get a picture of it? You can contact me through my profile.
Or, search through this site, it's probably a pleco you're describing, this site has a lot of them listed with photos. It may even be the one on the home page...
