Awww...meet "Hoover"

[Lady G]

Thanks you! I will try and get a shot of him with his fin up...he's always out and about so I should be able to get one.

Ok, I was able to get a couple shots of his fin. He of course isn't sitting still so they are a bit blurry, but there is one that did turn out pretty good.

I actually doubt that Hoover is a Pterygoplicthys paradalis as they traditionally have spots on their fins and not the lines like Hoover has. Furthermore without a full dorsal extension it is also a little hard to get a good idea as to species as well. I would post on www.plecofanatics.com and ask there what he is.I coul;d be wrong as to the ID, but the lines on the pectoral fin are not normal for Pterygoplicthys paradalis.

Good luck and yes... it is a very beautiful specimin.

Good catch KnaveTO!!! :headbang2:


Perhaps this fish is Pterygoplichthys disjunctivus

I have to agree with you... after a count Hoover does have 10 rays (took a bit to verify with the pics) and the pics that I have seen of the disjunctivus are a **** close match
