Thanks guys

Glad to know he isn't going to get enormous. I was in the store debating getting him for the longest time, just because I don't really have room for a 2 foot pleco. aha

It's not a "common pleco" as in Pterygoplichthys pardalis . It looks more like Hypostomus plecostomoides , or similar. Pretty much any nondescript, large, and brown pleco can be called a "common" though, and these are usually either a Pterygoplichthys or Hypostomus spp. Ooh, that looks pretty close ...

Does anyone know what this guy is? He has almost a greenish tint to him, and can suck onto things out of water better than any plec I've ever dealt with. http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/8955/picture157.png http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/5162/picture159.png http://img42.imageshack.us/img42 ...

well, not on the tailfin, but behind where all the organs are. just above where the long knifefish-like anal fin is.
My bad, It's 3 yellow lines.

Cool.
Thanks
it said he disabled his pm's.

Wasn't sure where to put this, and sorry for taking forever, but it won't let me reply to your PM?
Whats your email so I can send the rtc x paroon pics?

I hope I am wrong as they get huge

definitly not any wallago sp.
It has a small mouth, and the head looks like a bullhead or something.
i WISH it was a leeri. lol

I just got this cat, probibly 7'' that been at my lfs for months, it looks identical to an ompok (bimac) but it has a bullhead face and 2 yellow lines on its tail..

any idea what it could be?

They're equal length.

He turns dark grey on top when the lights are out.
Probibly due to the white sand washing him out.

here's better pic's along with a record of his growth / behavior.
better pics are near the bottom on the 1st page

Yeah. Mines just not quite so fat as the first picture, and the sna dwashes him out a bit, but it looks the same. He occasionally will swim like a paroon too. Im in the US BTW :mrgreen: So, do you have photos of the fish you're willing for the site to use by any chance? The fish in the second ...
