My new Hypostomus margaritifer...
...at least that's what it was sold as, which seems right, except that it's about 1.5 inches longer than the maximum size given in the Cat-eLog. It has coloured up nicer than this in-shop pic shows.

If it looks anything like the one in Sands CotW vol 4 it'll be a beaut!

Re: My new Hypostomus margaritifer...
I would not at all worry about the size being larger than the Cat-eLog - 180mm is not very large for a Hypostomus spp, and it's probably just that the collectors didn't want to waste some collection space with the largest specimens (or they didn't happen to find any really large fishes that day).

Beautiful fish, I've only seen one of these in the last few years, a real "classic" when it comes to plecos.

I'm not worried--like you say, it could easily happen.MatsP wrote:I would not at all worry about the size being larger than the Cat-eLog
