Hypostomus punctatus

	NAS - Species FactSheet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
		An unidentified Hypostomus was collected in geothermal waters of Upper Rio Grande drainage in the San Luis Valley, Conejos County, Colorado, during the period 1980 to 1984 (Zuckerman and Behnke 1986).
		Remarks: The Nevada population was reported originally as Plecostomus punctatus by Minckley (1973) and as Hypostomus plecostomus by Deacon and Williams (1984).
		The Hypostomus inhabiting the Tampa area was reported as expanding its range into the Hillsborough River from Six Mile Creek (Courtenay and Stauffer 1990), but there are no supporting specimens, and these also may be based on misidentifications of Pterygoplichthys.

		Common Plecos (Suckermouth Catfish) - Hypostomus plecostomus, Liposarcus pardalis, etc...
		Hypostomus plecostomus is often referred to as the Common Pleco, and is very widely available.
		Unfortunately, many beginning aquarists do not realize how big this fish will grow, nor do they realize that as the fish ages, it may become more agressive, especially to other plecos.

	Freshwater Aquarium Species Profiles: Hypostomus plecostomus, the Common Pleco
		Hypostomus plecostomus is the latin name of the ever-present "pleco", that almost obligatory algae eating "tank cleaner." I say "tank cleaner" loosely since these potentially large fish produce amazing amounts of waste.
		To my knowledge their is no reliable way to sex these fish based on external features.
		Hypostomus species in general are very hardy and make for an appropriate starter fish (provided the aquarium is 55 gallons or more).

		Hypostomus is also paraphyletic, the bulk of it forming a monophyletic clade with Aphanotorulus, Cochliodon, and Isorineloricaria.
		All of the potential monophyletic groups within Hypostomus grade into one another; therefore, Aphanotorulus, Cochliodon, and Isorineloricaria are placed in the synonymy of Hypostomus.
		Sister to Pterygoplichthys is the Hemiancistrus annectens group (including Hypostomus panamensis) which represents an undescribed genus.

	Plecostomus Catfish Profile
		FishBase calls these Hypostomus plecostomus but H. punctatus is commonly used in the literature (and they are sometimes relegated to the genus Liposarcus).
		I do not wish to speculate on the correct specific name for this fish, so I'll play it safe by calling them Hypostomus ssp., especially since it is not clear that the Common Plecostomus imported for the hobby are all of the same species.
		These are often sold to beginning aquarists as solutions to their algae problems but, much like the Chinese Algae Eater (Gyrinocheilus aymonieri), they are not apropos for the average community tank because of their eventual size and tendency toward aggression.

	Hypostomus sp. - L075 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
		This fish is also known (according to Aqualog: Loricariidae all the L-numbers) with the name of Ancistrus Venezuela L124 of course originating from Venezuela (check pages 34 and 51): I wonder why.
		Among the usual (and disliked not only by myself) common names I have to mentioned at least two: Para Pleco and Big Spot Hypostomus.
		Tank: I currently keep it in a 125 lt/tank (33 US Gals or so) aquascaped with gravel, rock, bogwoods and some Microsorium pteropus.

	Spotted Hypostomus - Hypostomus punctatus
		That was the impression I always had of plecos by looking at them in stores, until I finally bought one to clean up the algae in this tank.
		As the picture demonstrates, my Spotted Hypostomus developed a really nice color pattern once he got comfortable.
		He's also quite active and a real hard worker: I rarely need to clean algae off of anything in this tank.
