Would appreciate if you can help to ID my fish.
It looks very much like a... gibbiceps?

sorry for the bad angle. He/She is still new to the tank.

Hi jarayrapheal,

Yes that is a bad camera angle.

. A better photo would yield a more confident ID. But even so, I think you're correct: .

Cheers, Eric

thanks for the ID.
I'll let him/her ease into the environment first.
He/She is quite elusive and in hiding. LOL!

That they do, for the first year. After they reach some 15 cm, they are almost Always in the open.

How do you sex gibbiceps does anyone know i have around 20 and 25cm in length

As the male burrows a hole in the clay, which is norrmally around 1 meter in length, I am afraid breeding will not be an option.

I can't tell any clue about sexing them. Still, the normal way to sex Lorricarids - males broader near the pectoral fins, females broader in the belly region might apply.
