They are, if they do indeed exist at all, probably the work of the ancistrus, as pteryogplicthys spawns usually yield hundreds of eggs, not to mention that occurences of hypostomid spawnings are incredibly rare within the confines of the home aquaria. Furthermore, gibbiceps are nigh impossible to sex, as with other members of the genus, or rather, the entire tribe. Last edited by Cup_of_Lifenoodles at 08-May-2005 11:44
