Orange spotted pl*co??? I dont think so.

Post by Chris Allan »

Hello, I am new herre so take it easy on me please. My first question to you knowledgable people is on one of my plecs. I bought it a couple of months ago, it labelled as an orange spotted plec, but after looking it up in the Cat-E-Log, I really have my doubts. Have a look at the pics and please help me. It has been bugging me for a while as to what it is. :?:

Though I'm no expert, it looks kinda like Glyptoperichthys joselimaianus.

Just had a quick check and that looks like it could be him. Any other offers?

Its lacking in info on it, does anyone have any info they would like to share with me on this particular species, or is it very similar to the gibbiceps variety?

Cheers for the quick response. :D :D :D
