LFS selling "Rubbernose Pl*co" but does not look l
I have just visited my LFS and they are selling a Pl*co labelled up as Rubbernose.
They (5) do not look like Chaetostoma milesi (Rubbernose Pl*co) in Cat-elog. Not spotted, shape of head very rounded (not rubbernosed!) and much darker grey.
They are dark grey, 3 inch long and approx. 1.5 inch at widest point (very stocky fish!). Covered in large body plates.
Generally found stuck to the glass in the tank.
They are for sale at £15.
They do look very beautiful fish but i prefer to know what i am buying to ensure i can look after it. I have heard too many horror stories!
Thanks in advance.

No pic, so I'm taking a blind stab here.
Could it possibly be <i>Ancistrus ranunculus</i>?
