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.

he is very pretty!
And an added bonus is that Pterygoplichthys joselimaianus stay smaller then pardalis, right?

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.
