It looks like a candy striped pleco to me. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

It could be one of many similarly colored peckoltia species. It's markings are similar to that of the tiger striped pleco, L 38, but not readily perp. to the tail.
