Is he a garden variety common pl@co? The LFS called him reverse gibbiceps which I don't think is right.

He's very similar to "Pterygoplichthys joselimaianus" markings on the head, but spotted on the fins are quite different than PJ. He's very confused. He looks mostly like a P.J., but could be a Pardalis?

The 'reverse' I assume is because the pattern is reversed compared to a gibbiceps.
