Hi,

I have an L091 Pleco that I have had for 2 years. Last week he developed a white patch on it's head. It wasn't raised or flakey, so I just kept an eye on it.

Today he has gone very patchy! Nearly all white!

What can I do to help him! When I got home it looked like ...

I know, I know (in a childish, excited voice...)

Leporacanthicus triactis

Edit: Sexing isn't the easiest. I suspect your fish is a male, but best way to tell is to either inspect the papillae ("genitals") - pointy bits = male, blunt bits = female, or the width of the head: Narrow head is female ...

Hi Guys,

I'm wondering what type of Plec I have.

Also, how can you tell its sex? I will try and get better pictures next time it comes out to play =)
