it could either be the chinese algae eater,or plecostymus gibbiceps.if it is the first,then you need to know it will become aggressive with age.if it is the latter,also known as the sailfin plec,it is capable of growing in excess of 45cm.both require a diet of catfish pellets,algae flakes.if you intend keeping it,then you will need a large aquarium.
