Hey guys, stubbled on him in petsmart, thought he was something special. Nothing id seen in petsmart at least. Got him for 6 bucks,

Any ideas as to what it is would be nice thanks.


From above

Tank Shot

Sorry the tank shot isnt so great, he is still pretty skittish, so maybe tomorrow he'll give me a better shot, i just know that the dorsal fin is sometimes important for identification.

any idea of what name they had for him , very nice

 

[fishlover88]

it was from petsmart, so they were just selling him as a common pl*co. So i think the tag just said Hypostomus sp. When i went back the other day they must have gotten another shipment in cause the whole tank was full of these little guys.
