I bought these three little plecos from my LFS. He said some lady had just brought them in. She had had them for awhile and they stayed really small. There a little over an inch long. I was able to get a couple pics of one.

I can't really make it out, but I'm sure someone else will be able to. The only thing I would add is I'm always a bit skeptical when folks at the store say"It will stay small."

It's one variation of the tiger peckoltia, L-002 or whatever they call it these days.

The snout, IMO, is too elongate, and the parallel striping on the nose too evident to warrant it a clown, but it is not impossible, after all, L-002 and P maccus are from the same genus.
