New Plecostomus

Post by KillerThePlecostomus »

I purchased a new plecostomus from Petsmart last thursday. His name is Scavenger, he loves Algae Wafers and Zucchini! I don't know what he is. The store said he was a Liposarcus anisitsi, but by looking at Scavenger and the online pics posted at google images, Scavenger doesn't look like the online pics. Scavenger is light sandy brown with black stripes going down his back. He is a bit shy of me and loves Zucchini!

A picture is probably necessary to tell what it is.

It may be one of the other Pterygoplichthys species such as . I don't think Petsmart really stocks a wide range of plecs.
