Looks like a common pleco, grows to about 2' given proper care.

Most stores let you return without a fuss. That fish will not survive in a 10g. Instead, you could get a mystery snail if you are looking for an algae eater. They don't reproduce on their own & they search every inch of your tank - substrate, walls, plants, decor, etc. If you want a bottom dwelling fish, an Oto would be a better size for your tank.

I never planned to keep it. I will get snail(s) from Wal-Mart If they have some.

I found a store that gives credit for returns or money back if you buy it from them.
