no i love them too, i used to have a whole breeding colony.. so awesome , just alot of work with tankmaintenance cause they sue poo a lot lol

congrats! how exciting !! love the BN's

just looking at this post as i search gold nugget info on the forum

sorry i never put a picture yet , he is still with us and growing nicely!

he eats a vast majority of things but his fav is zucchini skin lol

I need to try and get a picture of him or her. most i see is a flash of him as he ...

Awesome !

Hope this goes in the right area. Haven't used tap a talk in awhile.

This morning saw two baby lucipinnis in re tank!!!!

They are about an inch long!! Very very cute!!!

Have had a small colony of 12 for several years now and first juvenile sighting!!

I'll try and get pics up but I just saw ...

great pics

two is usually not good. Do they have enough hidey holes? Maybe if you try one more re arrange the tank also and try to make some separate areas or hides for them

28 yrs is amazing, great job. Sorry for your loss.

I had 5 in a 75 and they just got too big for the tank, I rehomed 4 and kept one, his name is Johnny and is 6 yrs old. Just a baby apparently!

Happy thanksgiving from me and mr syno angelicus

oh thanks so much for letting me know. I kinda figured or hoped he was just sick of the zuchinni for a bit lol thanks again

was just curious if that's normal as they get older. he is about 7 or 8 yrs old i think. seemingly totally healthy, no other changes cept the lack of interest in some fruit or veg.

tank:75 gal
temp:76-78

Happy birthday!

definitely my fav synos

thats fantastic !!

mine like driftwood piles, pvc pipes, huge cave decos

he is still with us

very cool tanks and i can't believe they didn't break in transit.

I recently had a thread titled something like new gold nugget, sorry i should have put an L number. :ymblushing:

Also I did ask re food and temp, and i had read everything on this site and thru googling prior, and i have been keeping pl*cos for a few years now, I just wanted to know from people ...

ohh ok thanks

sorry just re read, a few weeks thank you

thanks, he looks so small in his big tank lol

just goes around checking stuff out , lots of caves and driftwood and plants and river stones and slate , sand bottom.

I hope he makes it. crossing fingers , he is a beauty

last night he ate his algae wafer and an earthworm stick.

when can i try ...

who all is in the tank with them, other fish wise,

what size tank

i am keeping him/her at 84 degrees, is this ok, or lower it ?

I would stick to one proven food, Hikari algae wafers, for a few weeks until the fish gets its strength back and can be introduced to the main tank.

done. thank you racoll

yes I feel like that alot also, if I do not take them home soon they will perish in the store tank.

Is why i try to order all fish supplies on line! =))

My gold nugget is still here, eating and looking good.

He really went to town on the algae covered stones and he also likes the shrimp ...

hi! pretty pl*co , hope he makes it!

first thing i look to with not acting/looking right is water quality.

1/4 water change every mos seems way not enough to me, I agree with Mats.

I change 50% water every 4th day on all my tanks. Just got into the habit of it.
