Chaetostoma dorsale by-catch?

Post by Coach29 »

Local store had tank labeled “rubber nose Plecos”. Most I thought were C. formosae photo on blue gravel. Four looked different. Looking for confirmation id as C. dorsale.

Thanks, Bob

Chaetostoma dorsale
is a common occurence with
Chaetostoma formosae
. I had a similar experience here: Mystery Chaetostoma, impulse buy at PetSmart. Beautiful little rubber lip. I've found them hard to keep healthy, but other people have lots of luck.

Enjoy yours. :-)

Cheers, Eric
