Oi vay, then I might take him back, I already have plenty of tank busters. Thank you Sidguppy.

2 New Pictures.
He has no teeth, one barbel on each side of his mouth and one barbel on each side underneath his mouth.

Hyla, Sid's not rude, just really to the point! As for your fish, SidGuppy is right, a bit better shot would help. Does your camera have a macro mode? (the little flower symbol on most digi-cams.) As for Lophiobagrus spp. , it looks like the mouth is too narrow, I am inclined to agree with ...

Im sorry, I dont understand why you are being so rude. All I want is a positive ID so that I can make sure he is in the right enviroment. I understand what he, the poster, suggested but as I was switching out the gravel last night, I found what I could to take a picture of him in and obviously the ...

Here are some more pictures, they most definitly are not great, but they are the best I can do with him in a container. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a290/hylachristine/cat1.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a290/hylachristine/cat2.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a290/hylachristine ...

Her pleco looks too big to be an inpector, to my knowledge they only get 4 inches.

Invest in a specimen container

Ok will do. But I still need a positive ID so I can give my catfish the best possible conditions and feeding. Thanks Hyla

What about
Lophiobagrus brevispinis

He doesnt hang upside down in the tank.

It's a Hypancistrus inspector you have, their spots can vary from white to yellow and even orange and that change with mood and the environment. The headshape and the bigger eyes belongs to a Hypancistrus and not a Panaque :wink: Janne The second set of pictures belongs to me, I was just trying to ...

I picked this guy up today. Nothing unusual about him, he is just brown. Does anyone know what he is? http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a290/hylachristine/IM000965.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a290/hylachristine/IM000964.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a290/hylachristine/IM000963.jpg

Here is pictures of my inspector to compare.....

IMO, I own an inspector amd his eyes seem to be much larger than the pleco in the above pics. Also mine has spots that are yellow, not as frequent and larger.

So you think I picked up another Common then?
But him and Godzilla are different color commons, then?
Can two Commons be in the same tank?

From start to finish, the tank had already been running for over a year with the two Magnum filters! So we just had to transport it to our house and set it up. Here is the process, with two of my three pleco residents at the bottom. Large picture load. Ok, this is my thread to show the before ...
