Need an ID on this Leporacanthicus. Im thinking L007 0r L029, but has a marbled pattern. It came in with shipment of gold nuggets.

ive been trying kens spirulina wafers as well, but it hasn't figured out they're food. the other plecos and fish eat them up fairly quickly.

my temp is at 80F i don't want to turn it up any further due to the denison barbs in my tank. they don't like high temps

I got a small 2 1/2" L191 a couple of weeks ago and since i bought it online i wasn't able to look at the fish i was getting. it has a pretty sunken in stomach, but has been eating zucchini and a rasping on wood since introduced to the tank. how long does it take for the stomach to fill in? as far ...

Ill give the brine shrimp a try. i think it may have eaten some blood worms today

the face is definitely not sunken in and it had a full looking belly when i saw it during todays water change.
also no snails in the tank, im thinking i might be eating some of the kens 1.5mm color crumble that i feed to the other fish

here is a picture i took when i first introduced the fish to my tank:

I got an adult 8"-9" L240 over a month agao. It never comes out of hiding and i've never seen it eat anything. It is in a 75 gallon tank with an L200, LDA01/L169, a school of denison barbs and a couple of other misc fish. The only time i ever see it is during water changes when i lift up the ...

No, both lobes are the same length, the tail looks exactly like the picture in the Hypostomus sp. `TINGO MARIA` profile

do you guys think this is a Hypostomus sp. `TINGO MARIA`??







if not what is it?


the pleco is about 7"

Im not sure where it originated from, i got it locally from a fish keeper that has a huge collection of different plecos. Ive been keeping all kinds of fish for a long time,but Only recently have i started keeping fancy plecos as for the caudal rays, both top and bottom are about the same size and ...

looks very similar

forgot to mention that its about 5"-6"

I got this pleco as an L006, but the pictures online look different from what i have. Any idea as to what it is?
