The spots don't cover the body. When it's eating or chasing the other plecos it gets a mottled pattern along the length of it's back.
As you can see it eats cucumber, but when I put frozen bloodworms or blackworms in the tank it goes nuts and chases the other fish away.
I have to make a photo tank for better photos...
