I'm gonna search up gibbiceps........Hmmmm the spotting on the dorsal fin make me feel like its a gibbiceps rather then a rhino. The molted colors its displaying would be easily explained by the fact that when frightened it shows more of a molted pattern look similiar to a rhino. Rhino's have no spots from what ive seen and experienced. Either way though it is a nice looking specimen. Give it time to calm down then take pics so we could see it's normal calm coloration versus a stress coloration.
Yeah, i will take some more pics for you guys, not now, because I turned off the lights, and yes, it did change color, before I turned off the lights, it didn't have those spots and looked more like rhino skin which I assume is what it is supposed to look like?
I feed all my plecos zucchini, other veggies, and algae wafers, never tried NLS pellets? Maybe next time I run out of my wafersYa, 10-11", not 5 like the lfs said. Don't need wood like Panaques, but does need some veggies in the diet along with meatier foods. Or just feed it NLS pellets, they're good for any species of pleco IME.
? 18" tank? idk....what you meani hope you have an 18 inch tank sitting around i saw these at my LFS, they get bigger than 5 inches...
