 Plecostomus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name is derived from the suckermouth catfish, Hypostomus plecostomus, but it has since been applied to any of a large number of species that have a similar shape, but vary widely in terms of maximum length, coloration, and certain body features such as the "horns" on the bristlenose catfishes (genus Ancistrus).
Plecos are extremely popular in aquaria for their ability to clean tanks by eating algae growth, however they are often very poor at doing this.
There are a number of species that are sold on the market under the name common pleco, including Hypostomus plecostomus, Hypostomus punctatus, Liposarcus multiradiatus, and Liposarcus pardalis.

 pleco
They generally just stock the ‘plain jane’ common pleco (Hypostomus plecostomus, later renamed Hypostomus punctatus), considered ‘ugly’ by some, for the sole purpose of tank janitor.
Because of this, the pleco is fast becoming a cult fish, and many hobbyist organizations are creating special interest groups devoted to plecos.
Although at present I only have the common hypostomus variety, I am seriously considering expanding my collection.

As the picture demonstrates, my Spotted Hypostomus developed a really nice color pattern once he got comfortable.
He's also quite active and a real hard worker: I rarely need to clean algae off of anything in this tank.
