Ok I got 2 scribbles a few months back(they were supposed to be queen arobesques)anyhoo they are both fine and eating well but I moved the darker thinner one to my planted tank so he/she would find it easier to get food.

I have noticed the more it comes out that it is very different from the other, they other has mostly stripes but this one has a lot of blotches.Can you tell me if this is normal or is it another species.Also can you tell the sex?

Thanks.

Hi!

They are several population sold under this Hypancistrus... and things aren't exactly clear...

To me it look normal...
Still could you post a picture of the othe rso we can compare it...

Regarding the sex, how big is it?
Hypancistrus sp from the L66 group usually start to show sexual dimorphism at slightly over 4''
