Am cautat pe vechiul forum despre gibby si nu am gasit nimic.
Banuiesc ca e vorba de Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps.
Scriu mai jos ce am gasit pe net. Sa ma corecteze cineva daca am gresit. Scuze ca nu am tradus ... Creste cam maricel :sic:
Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps (Kner, 1854)
Common Name Gibby, L083, L165, L196, Sail fin Pleco
Type Locality Rio Negro bei Marabitanos
Pronunciation terry gop LICK thees - gibb EE seps
Size 450mm (18")
Notes on ID The trademark spotted sailfin makes this a distinctive species.
Sexing Comparison of the genital papilla in mature fish shows the differences in the sexes to the trained eye. In males this is a small yet thick stump which noticeably protrudes from the fish's undercarriage. In females it is less obvious and is recessed or lies flat with the body.
Distribution Widespread throughout the Peruvian & Brazilian Amazon
Temperature 23 - 27°C
pH 5.0 6.5 - 7.8
Other Water Parameters Larger fish require heavy filtration, not because they are fussy about water quality, but because of the high volumes of waste they produce.
"Furniture" An appropriately sized shady retreat is all this fish requires. Will not eat plants, but any individual larger then 100mm or so may inadvertently pull up plants that are not entirely established. Larger fish require heavy filtration, not because they are fussy about water quality, but because of the high volumes of waste they produce.

Feeding Lettuce, Peas, Frozen Spinach and any prepared food that reaches the bottom. Larger fish enjoy prawns or pieces of freshwater trout. Algae (especially soft brown) will be eaten immediately.
Compatibility Larger individuals are territorial to conspecifics however not predatory and able to look after itself with all but the most violent tankmates. Not a good pleco to keep with other similarly sized plecos as the gibbiceps would usually win any competition for food.

Tankmates Larger individuals are territorial to conspecifics however not predatory and able to look after itself with all but the most violent tankmates. Not a good pleco to keep with other similarly sized, less gregarious plecos as the gibbiceps would usually win any competition for food.
Breeding Although commercially farmed, spawning in a home aquarium would be very difficult to achieve as a large wall of mud (I.E. a river bank) is tunneled into and used for the incubation / hatching process. Large tunnels and fish would be required in a super-size aquarium.
