This fish is Pterygoplichthys joselimaianus, not Pterygoplichthys pardalis. :D

Racing, shoes and fish. Nothing else matters. Oh, and bacon.

His skin has changed colors since I originally I got him 2 years ago. His skin changed colors due to him eating fresh leaf spinach.

Fine. I'm still sure that Racoll is right. And by the way, that's a bit like being told "no, that's not a VW, it's a Porsche" - at least in the sense that they are less common.

Not entirely sure about that. I think Bas has one that is a bit bigger than the stated size in the Cat-eLog [or has seen one], but not enough evidence to change the catelog.

No matter what kind of species of Plecostomus/Catfish Killer is. He is still cute and gives me lots of laughs.
