Help with i.d.

Post by jayhitek »

Can anyone please help I.d. this guy.

I haven't put a pleco in the tank in years and all of a sudden saw this guy. No idea when I would have put him in there especially with the size. Has to be over a couple of year old and only 2"-2.5"..

Any ideas?

As Steve said, our Feb 2012 Catfish of the Month C. formosae. You must be doing something right if he has lived for at least two years in the tank.
