An inconspicuously coloured small catfish which, with its compact body shape, reminds one mostly of Peckoltia, from which it is nevertheless differs by its almost straight head profile. Further differences from 'classic' Peckoltia are a very large gap between the eyes, which is around one fifth of the body length (in Peckolitia more that six times) and a very domed and furrowed head area.

Shouldn't the bold text say

in other Peckoltia less than one sixth

?

Note misspelling of "Peckoltia" and "than" that are DEFINITELY incorrect - but the sentence doesn't make sense with those fixed either, as one is a fraction and the other is a multiple, and I don't think the eyes are 6 times the length of the body apart on the peckoltia - that would be very wide-eyed!

I find this paragraph a little bit confusing too :

Gets on with small lively catfish but avoid too many other larger bottom dwellers (unless space permits) due to the territorial disputes. More active when kept in a group.

So you should not have other bottom dwellers, but they are more active if you have more of them? [I guess it means that if there's a lot of space, you can keep several - an they are more active?]. If so, shouldn't this comment also apply to other Leporacanthicus species?

Gets on with small lively catfish but avoid other larger bottom dwellers (unless space permits) due to the territorial disputes.

- no mention of keeping several...

On another note: When I clicked on Peppermint Pleco in the common name list, it says "No input file specified"...

Peckoltia is fixed.

I passed the "Gets on with small lively catfish but avoid too many other larger bottom dwellers (unless space permits) due to the territorial disputes. More active when kept in a group." sentence past Clare and she thinks it's fine.

I don't want to change the Leporacanthicus becuase I find the black and white spotted "species" ARE more agressive especially toward similarly colour catfishes of which they are _more likely_ to be kept with.

I also have no experience of keeping a group of L. galaxias types.
