I second that!

thank you,that him.

He is about 4 inches and has grown very slow.

Looks like all males.I would also remove the under gravel filter part and feed veggies.

My L128's are 7-10 inches.My L200's are 5-6 inches.I got them in at a large size.There tank is 4.5x4.5x2.5 feet.A big box.

I have 4 very large L128 and 3 very large L200.I notice a great variety in shades of greens on the L200's but the L128's all look the same.These fish were purchased one here one there so i am sure a few locations.I put them in a very large 450 gallon tank all together.Strange as it is all the L128's ...

just thought i should add i am in a basement apartment,nothing but cement.I had no choice having 4 monster tanks:}.

Now if i could get them to breed then we are talking

oh yes i am well aware of pleco waste as i keep over 200 currently but also keep poly endli's,azul bass,tiger datnoids,indo tarpon,big eels,etc..so water changes do not bother me.I keep some other carnivorous L numbers as well.I am around 1500 gallons in my 1 bed room apartment,lol.

i am going with the two L25's since i already have one other specimen and much more affordable.

not a breeding pair just two that have lived together in a 90 gallon tank for five years.

I wanted to buy myself a cool fish for my b day.I did not think i would have such a choice.I found a 12 inch blue eye for 1 thousand us dollars or these two scarlets for 375.00.

I found a person in my town selling two 11 inch red scarlet L25 plecos.He want 375.00 for the pair.Is this a good price.They are 4-5 years old.Do they have many years left to live?

when he was small his spots were white as well but i recently picked up another adonis at 2 inches and it has very yellow spots.I am curious how he will turn out.

I got this guy at a tiny 1.5 inches and he has grown very fast to about 10 inches.he seems to be keeping his spots?

I just picked up a small group of these.They were ordered as L002 but they look a bit different to me?Thoughts?

I do not keep these but i am trying to breed sturisoma robustum which are also very large like yours.

Good luck.I have had three females for a year now all very fat and big,still can't find a male

Well i got lucky.My friend wants to give his two away so now with three perhaps i will get a pair.

thank you,now to find a male.

What do you think its sex is??He/she is 11 inches long.

there is female 14 inches at a LFS here in Boston .My problem is one thousand dollars is too rich for me:{

i would add many more places to hide and a not so bright light.

The binox did not work:{.I used salt and pimafix and that worked over time with frequent water changes.I lost 1 out of 8 infected fish.Just one fish has a small spot on his dorsal fin which should be gone soon.

thank you for all that information.

I bought these at a super tiny size.I have 5 total and there are three brownish ones and two red ones.Is this just a color variant or are females brown,male red?What size do these breed at.My guys are 3-4 inches now and a few look very fat.I was surprised how fast they grew.

Are all the pictures under L201 correct??They look like three different fish there?

i use a low low light and they come out more now.

i am also thinking L201,i will get a good mouth picture for you.Why are so many places calling these L082??The price was cheap so i did suspect they were wrongly named but thought i would try.

Well this was my last attempt at trying to order L082 plecos.I am still happy with the fish as they came looking very nice and will try to breed this group since i already have another group of the same pleco i bought threw another source.I just need to id them.They are black/grey with a light ...

They are going into a 180 gallon and there are several of my DIY caves as well as coconut shells,drift wood,and rock caves(not slate).

with a box of each coming it should be interesting to see .I will post pictures after they arrive.
