His dorsal fin is like a big triangle? - Does that make any sense to the experts? 7Pete 7Pete

Side view looks Gibbeceps. Top view looks different though.

It looks like a sailfin pleco (Gibbeceps) and appears to have a white fungus or ich on it. It is hard to tell because the pictures blurry.
Are those pictures of your fish or pics off the internet because the fish in the first pic appears to have a fungus or ich, and the fish in the 2nd pic looks healthy?
