    hi guys, my brother-in-law, bought this 100L tank a week or so ago and it came with a few fish, one of which is a pleco, looks like a gibbiceps to me but i'm not sure.


    can anyone tell me if this is a common plec or a gibbiceps?

    sorry for poor quality images. pics taken at night with my nokia N8.

    Like Go-Big said - it may be Glyptoperichthys gibbiceps, the common hi-fin pleco you always see at the pet store, or a closely related species.
