Mine looks exactly like this, incl the lack of bristles!


I also think yours is a variety of Ansistrus sp3. Maybe this..

I just found out my plecos like green peppers, but I must try some watermelon!
Lots of great pics! Goggles, that was indeed a lovely fish.

In the meantime:

Here are two juvenile albino bristlenose. Though they're still pretty small (approx 2.5"), I'm guessing that the first picture is a male, and the second is a female.

The pleco I posted last year has gone to a school to live. Now I have two more that I will probably keep. I really like them. I'm not exactly sure what species they are. I think they are common plecs, but all the pics I see of commons have dark spots on a lighter background. Mine are the other way round. The first pic is of my old pleco in his new tank at the school. The second is my two new ones when I first brought them home (less than an inch long). The third pic is the same two when I brought them in for the winter. My pond temp was down to 61 degrees farenheit the day after I brought them in...

Here is my new queen gold nugget. She is just getting settled into her new home. She already has kicked my black ghost knifefish out of his hiding place and taken over. I had to give him a new bachelor pad.

Love the cave

My catfishs really love their caves especially when guarding egg and fry.

These are some photos of my new Pleco. LFS called it a Yellow Seam Pleco, from research this is either a Mango or a Gold Nugget.
Either way, he is a teeny thing at about 3 inches long and hanging out everywhere that a photo is impossible lol.
These are only chance photos... not the best, but will have too do til he moves around the tank more.

Not entirely sure what sort of pleco this is, the guy at the shop did say but it wasnt a common name he said. But guessing by other pictures its a bristlenose of some sort. He said also that it wont get much bigger so more evidence of being a BN. If any pleco expert knows for sure please enlighten me.
