Chaetostoma confirmation

Post by Dimidiata »

Noticed an odd man out in the rubberlip tank, could just be a stressed out rubberlip but it has uniform white spots across it's body instead of black spots.

It's a common import with the black spotted Chaetostoma formosae. I see them together a lot at Petco and Petsmart, although I wouldn't advise buying them at those stores for fish-health reasons.

Good luck!
