Megalancistrus sp. possibly Gigas

Post by Cartman »

Does anyone have any experience keeping or articles relating to Megalancistrus Gigas or other Megalancistrus sp.? Even the scientific description would be nice. I revieved a call last night from one of the lfs near me and he believes he got in a Gigas as it's "close" to the picture I gave him from Biotope... http://www.biotope.com/Mega.html I'm a little skeptical as it's only 5"s right now and not nearly the $ I expected it to be.

TIA

Hi!

Here is a little link that I found about Megalancistrus.
I shall look in my library at home if I got any thing about them.
Until then...here is what I found!
