Adding a new Plec

[octofasciatus]

I am adding a 10" Trinidad plec into my tank this week. Does anyone see a problem with it co-existing with a 13" Gibbiceps and an 8" common plec?

Basically it is going in a 180gal with all the fish listed in my signature except the ARTC(hemibagrus) and the 2 Pacu.

cheers

No problem, might be a couple of tussles to begin with, but should be fine.

Well it certainly don't look like no trinidad plec to me - ideas anyone?

just looks like another glypto to me.

does the trinidad pleco have a number? I've never heard of that common name...

 

[octofasciatus]

No number I'm aware of. A trinidad pleco is a pterygoplichthys punctatus aka imperial ranger or yogi pleco - this is not one of them though.

Should be fine. Just add more hiding space if any of them are getting too beat up.

'Trinidad pleco' is interchangeable with the term 'common pleco'.

Nice looking Gibby-L083, L165, Sail fin Pleco

Are you sure? Here's my Gibby or am I mistaken - they both look very different, the first has a 'honeycomb' type pattern whilst this one has a 'scribble' type pattern.

Which picture is it that you want identified? The first set of pictures, and this last pic are of different fish.
