this pleco must know i wanted to take pics..i tried all day long to find him, without moving all the rocks and such in my tank...and never saw him for even a second..had to work this afternoon so tomorrow morning i'll break down all the rocks and find him, planned on rearranging the rocks anyhow so ...

well its not either of those 2 you posted, it def looks like a zebra pleco, l046, l270. Im thinking l270 but i could be wrong. I will be sure to post pics though thanks for the quick response.

I'll get some pics in the morning, dont want to disturb the tank this evening. I was at my LFS who has a really good reputation, at least from my experiance, with the fish he sells. I was looking at a tank, which contained some raphael catfish(very cool looking), and I noticed a pleco in the tank. I ...

i have attempted fixing a leaking tank before, 55 gallon i got in a bad deal on craiglist, anyhow as suggested i used a razor to remove all the old silicone, then acetone to clean the glass, then i put a small fan inside the tank and cranked it on high for 24 hours. I applied the new silicone with ...

its a northern pike! no but serioulsy i have no idea lol

do you think it's a possibility that the l205 was starved to death from my common? i saw the 205 eating a couple times, and i rarely ever see my common come out and eat, although i know he does as the food disappears after i fall asleep. someone else mentioned in another post that my 205 looked a ...

why whats up with the common pleco, is it just the size that he's going to reach? or do they end up being pretty aggressive in the future? or a combination of both perhaps?

well, i understand that and i've tried to find a new home for the oscar, my LFS doesn't want to take it as he doesn't have a tank big enough to house the oscar properly...i've got a few people who were interested then fell out at the last minute. that being said the oscar isn't super active, and he ...

So, i have a 55g tank, currently housing a big red oscar hes pushing 13 inchs, and a 5 inch common pleco, and im looking to add another pleco/catfish to the mix, my question is what should i put in there, i want something with color that i wont have to pay out the behind for, green would be a great ...

slot sizes like alot of NY fisheries do, you can keep a certain fish from say 20-25 inchs and you can keep 3 of those, none bigger then 25 inchs or smaller than 20 inchs..and plus it should be illegal to do that to any fish in that situation, they should find a way to keep more consistant water flow ...

i have eaten catfish before, but not a "pet" catfish

I have a big piece of Mopani Driftwood, its about 15in length, and 8 inchs wide, also a decoration thats hallow which he loved to be in.

the pics that i posted were when i first got him from my LFS and he just got it in that day, so i guess whoever the supplier was is to blame, i've only had the fish 2-3 weeks. Im 99.99% sure it wasn't the oscar that killed the fish and i doubt it was a territory issue with the other pleco i guess ...

yea im pretty bummed out by the whole thing, as he was the coolest fish i had. Anyhow i plan on getting some more soon, going to call my LFS and see what he's got available.

So i went away for about a day and a half, when i got home i checked on my fish first thing. I see my l205 sitting in a corner i assume hes alive check on the other fish and start to feed them. After awhile i notice the 205 isn't moving, so i decide to investigate the situation. I grab my net and ...

you dont use the water treatment on your tap water? I use API's stress coat+, removes ammonia and chlorine from tap water

yea i get worried sometimes at night, the common pleco is out cleaning walls and the oscar seems to follow him around, but hes never shown aggression towards the pleco im trying to rehome the oscar though and fill my tank with some smaller fish more suited to a community tank but the guy i got the ...

they've been together now for about a month, with no problems, but i hear what your saying and thats why im looking to rehome the oscar i have a lead from a guy whos right in my town and already has big oscars looking to add another just waiting on him to make up his mind...

How can i sex my l205, and my common pleco i've heard if they have barbs around the mouth that means male, if thats true what do the barbs look like, are they whisker like? I would like to breed my l205 and want to know if i should look for a couple females or a male and female to add in.

Right now, I have an oscar(12+ inchs) and 2 plecos a common and the l205 looking to rehome the oscar so i can get some smaller cichlids possibly africans thinking cobalt blues and possibly adding a green phantom pleco also but the oscar has gotta go to make room for smaller fish.

he or she is about 3 1/2 inchs in length

one of the pics didn't upload

So my L205 came out of hiding finally after about a week of owning him, he was staying inside one of the decorations..what made it better is that he came out during daytime..i was so surprised to see him that i thought i was going nuts, so i decided to take a couple pics to share, let me know what ...

well, he looked the same inside the bag from my LFS also, yea i was wondering if the patterns varied from fish to fish, but to call it a tiger seems kinda wrong, tigers are striped, not spotted lol, but ok 2 ppl have told me l205 so thats what i'll go with, thanks much.

So i purchased a "tiger pleco", got home introduced him to the tank, and got to thinking.. Was he/she really a tiger pleco? went through about 1000 pics on google image of various plecos and none of them looked at all like mine, the tigers i saw were all striped. My pleco is more spotted than ...

alright, well cool thanks. the reason i was asking is that the l205s i saw pics of didnt look quite as white as mine, more of a brownish color. thanks for the quick reply. also, are the spots going to change to stripes as he matures? as thats how most of the 205s i saw looked more striped than ...

Hi, my name is Alvin. Recently at my LFS I purchased a "tiger pleco". I wasn't so much concearned with it's actual breed as it looked cool and was compatibale in my tank. So after checking this guy..or girl out on the way home, and while he floated in the bag for about 20-30 mins, open of course, I ...
