what kind of pleco?

[joey666]

Hello everyone,

I'm new here and I'd like to start with a question and apologize for my English.

I've got a fish in my tank that I took in from people that could not care for it anymore and I would like some information about it. Can anyone help me?

That is an L083 gibbiceps. If you look in the Loricariidae species identification sticky in the pleco section, you will find a lot of info about them.

I looked but couldn't find L083 gibbiceps
It's possible my looking skills are failing me but could anyone tell me where to look? what page is he on?

thanks

Don't worry about it, it is in the making looking at it.
You have Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps, an omnivorous pleco that will attain sizes up to 24", but sometimes smaller. Should feed it mainly veggies, but also some protein foods. Check the dietry thread sticky, that might help.

This must seem like a stupid question but in Holland we use the metric system so could you tell me if 24" is the same as 24 inches? than I can calculate how many cm that is.

thanks

" is a symbol for inches in SAE. ' means foot.

24 inches is roughly 61 CM.

Yes 24" and 24 inches are the same thing and its 60.96cm
