On September 4, 2018, my dad purchased for me a baby Pleco at Petsmart and the whole time I had it, it never ate anything and sadly, on September 13, 2018 Monster passed away. So, on September 15, 2018 listening to my dad's advice I purchased a young, healthy, and active Pleco at Walmart and this ...

This is just one part of the aquarium.

I have a baby Pleco that my dad bought me. Yesterday, I placed half of an algae wafer, but he hasn't touched it much, I have seen him move the wafer fragments and I have seen him go to the wafer fragments and rest on one. I don't think nothing is wrong. Could my baby Pleco be a finicky eater or just ...

After the death of Killer the Pleco, my dad got me this little guy.... his name is Monster.







Monster has found that the big rock is a good hiding place. What common pleco is this little guy?

As of now, I have a friend who will get me a new Pleco and that means I must come up a good name for a new Pleco... hmm... Monster? It's cute because Plecostomus can grow to epic size!

Yes it is. The was the first photo ever taken of Killer. He grew very fast before my eyes...

My old Pleco "Killer" by name; died on Friday August 24, 2018. He was 11 years old and he lived a great life with me and he will be greatly missed. He will be buried on my dad's property and where I can visit him anytime I come over. I may get another Pleco next spring. I wish to wait and let the ...

Thanks. I enjoy taking care of my Pleco. I enjoy caring for my fish.

I am back! And on 05/27/2017 my Pleco turned 10 years old! I am so happy to have a great friend like my Pleco named Killer! By the way, my Pleco has a new Aquarium since the old one was leaking. My dad bought it. My Pleco is so happy.

Hello there Becky. Welcome to Planet Catfish. I enjoy this site too. People are friendly and they love Catfish. Personally, I never thought Catfish would be fun to raise. I have one that is a Pleco and he is fun to watch. Fish are just fun to watch because they don't worry like we do. Enjoy the site!

Killer, my Pleco came from Wal-mart from the state of Texas... I don't like Wal-mart selling fish.... they don't take care of them.

A cool looking pleco.

My Pleco isn't scared of me or anything and likes when I pay attention to him!

Yes, Search for Killer the Plecostomus or search for the user 'Eccadairius' and you will find some videos of Killer my pleco.

I should note, that Killer isn't afraid of me and He also looks forward to being fed each night. He also likes me paying attention to him. What a pleco, huh?

My Plecostomus does this. He will lay in the same spot for hours or even days and do the same thing. He has this rock in his aquarium that he loves so much. Why do they take such a liking to certain objects?

Plecostomus are strange and fun to watch. Killer lights up my life.

Like they say.... it is just water under the bridge. I guess my Plecostomus just likes to be upside down because it feels good. What a fish!

Why do Plecostomus hang upside in aquariums? Just because they like it?

That's something! A Catfish biting you. Interesting. Must have been a mean critter... I guess.

I guess that Killer trusts me and knows that I am there for him. What does him winking at me mean? Anything? I know Killer knows I enjoy feeding him and watching him eat.

How can you tell if your Catfish (or Plecostomus) has affection for you? Thanks for answering in advance.

No matter what kind of species of Plecostomus/Catfish Killer is. He is still cute and gives me lots of laughs.

His skin has changed colors since I originally I got him 2 years ago. His skin changed colors due to him eating fresh leaf spinach.

It has been a while. Here is some recent pictures of Killer my Plecostomus: http://www.hero-dragon.org/aquarium/images/killer01.jpg http://www.hero-dragon.org/aquarium/images/killer02.jpg http://www.hero-dragon.org/aquarium/images/killer03.jpg http://www.hero-dragon.org/aquarium/images/killer04.jpg ...

My only question would be what kind of filtration do you have on the tanks. And are you considering geting bigger aquariums when they get bigger. At least a 45.5 liter tank or 10 us gallons I think would be okay for a small apartment. i'm in a 720 sq ft apartment and i have a 29 gallon. and a 2 ...

I have two Plecostomus in two aquariums. In Aquarium A: I have Killer, he is about over 3 inches long. In Aquarium B: I have Scavenger, he is just over 2 inches long. each aquarium is 6.3 liters. Now each pleco has of the following: Fake Plant 5 inch Greek stone column 5 big white marbles a few ...

I will do that. I need more pics of my first Plecostomus Killer too. I only have one of Killer.

I purchased a new plecostomus from Petsmart last thursday. His name is Scavenger, he loves Algae Wafers and Zucchini! I don't know what he is. The store said he was a Liposarcus anisitsi, but by looking at Scavenger and the online pics posted at google images, Scavenger doesn't look like the online ...

I really like the pictures. Good job of raising them! I got a Pterygoplichthys Pardalis which I had since the end of May 2007.
