Nilocagain Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Just wondering if someone could enlighten me as far as type and sex? Thanks Its about 28-30cms long and not sure of age, brought privately for $12.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Yup, looks like a common plec. At around a foot I'd say it's in the range of 2-3 years old, maybe a bit older, depends on how well it was taken care of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nilocagain Posted December 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 It was in with a goldfish (non heated tank) when i got it, before it was in an outside pond (i was told). But now is in my 4' com tank, which was heavly planted. Thanks Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Niloc, see if you can get a pic from straight above "it" At the moment my guess is female. But I want to see an overhead shot first. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatBrat Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Looks like it is a Pterygoplichthys pardalis (Common Pleco). Alan, what makes you say that its a female? The only method that I have come across for sexing these is through the size and shape of their genitla palipa (spelling). But I have been known to be wrong in the past, lol. Cheers, CatBrat.
