| Before reading the other comments I thought Common, but then saw Fish Geek response of Gibbiceps looked again at the fins and I can relate to that!

| Ok what I was hoping for was to see the top fin. Is it rather large?? Here are some pics or Sailfins, which is what Im thinking it might be. PlanetCatfish • Cat-eLog • Loricariidae • Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps
