| Scientific Name: Glyptoperichthys gibbiceps L083, L164, L196 | ||||||||||||
| Common Name: Red Spot Pleco, Gibby | ||||||||||||
| While the common pleco maybe the granddaddy of the tank my Gibby is the young upstart, he grew at an amazing rate after I added him to the tank a few years ago and is now slightly larger than my common pleco but seems to have stopped growing. Here in New Zealand they are sold as Red Spot Plecos and are fairly readilly avaialble from most pet stores. The grow quickly and produce a lot of waste. Gibby is allways first to the food at feeding time and eats practically everything I have tried feeding him. He gets on with all the other pleco's in the tank and seems peacefull with all other fish depsite his size. | ||||||||||||
