Forked-tail gold spot plecostomus -- hard to hold.

Severum checking him out.

Rasping mouth. And check out all those little poky things on
him.

All these little poky things are what make him hard to hold.

He prefers to remain "out of the way" during the day.

Unless, of course, you give him a slice of blanched zucchini.

Zucchini hits the spot with this guy and many other plecos.

Hello Aqualand, I am emailing to ID a fish you have. It's on
Costly Plecos VI sold to you as a circle catfish, and you
thought it was a High-fin Whiptail. It is actually
Planiloricaria crytptodon also known as a Spoon face
Whiptail. Just thought I'd let you know. Thank you for the
wonderful site.
A: Thanks for the correction. I'm adding it to
my page which I wrote three years ago. I am now smarter than I
was three years ago. LA
