  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Pterygoplichthys can be identified by the number of rays in the dorsal fin. More than 10 indicates that it's a Pterygoplichthys...

Looks like a hybrid.

Only the Snow king has a 'diamond' like pattern under the dorsal fin (like his).

Disjunctivus have wavy lines. I've had nearly 20 disjunctivus in the last 20 years(including one right now) and NONE have even come close to looking like this one.

Also disjunctivus have black bellies with white wavy lines. Snow Kings have white bellies with black lines(like his).

yeah manly fish is right.

I google imaged snow king pleco and they look just like this one the shape of the head and the pattern I dont know much about plecos but it looked more like a snow king than a sail fin or a disjunctivitus.

but then again im ignorant when it comes to plecos
