I've had mine about 18 months, it's about 10"

Nice video fishnut2, glad you got'er figured out.

You'll need:

a) that cord
b) editing software to cut it down in time and resolution
c) server space
d) software to upload to that server

If you don't have editing software or server space, I'm willing to help, just PM me for my email =)

more beautiful when young

Really? They lose color as they get older? Or spots?

Just got one of these from fishcollectors.com

Anyone have any firsthand experience with these? Mine's a 3" specimen that I'm keeping in a rapids tank with my L128. Feeding him frozen krill and Hikari's carnivore pellets.

Nice! Thanks guys =)

I had a much larger message which included words of praise for your impressive knowledge and willingness to share, but I sounded like a little girly man who watches too many soap operas.

I think I'll set the temp at 77°F, which seems at the top of the L128's range, and the ...

I thought I saw a comment about lower temperatures when keeping plecos. I usually set all my tanks to 78-80°F. What temp should I keep my pleco tank at? I have an L128, and hopefully an L018 by the end of today ;)

I've partially subscribed to the idea throughout my fishkeeping that higher temps ...

I've got a 26 gallon set up as a pleco grow out tank. It's 36"long, has sand substrate, and a 300gph powerhead. The one I bought came with an attachement that lets you direct the flow however you want, I have mine angled slightly downward, haven't had any problems whatsoever.

I had an 18" Jardini for a few weeks in with my 10" gibby. The aro wasn't very nice, so I sold him.

Day 3, he seems to be doing well =)[/img]

I just got an L128 last night from a Portland store for $50. He's about 3.5" and seems to have some potential for good blues. I acclimated him as suggested and he seems to be doing ok.

The LFS here just got another gold nugget in today, it's like 2" so I'm hesitant. They've also got a Queen ...

Nice, thanks man.

OK so I failed with my first attempt with a gold nugget... I'm NOW going to be trading my 18" Jardini Arowana for an L046. Any tips on acclimating so I don't lose a fish I've been waiting 3 years to get?

Well it looks like I wont be getting my replacement gold nugget any time soon from the LFS.

But I am hooked! It only took one night of looking at him! I'm looking for a good place to buy a good L018 and L046.

What's funny is, if I remember right, he didn't have them labeled as gold nuggets (gold nuggets don't have the yellow finnage, he explained =P), he had them labeled as "Lemon Pleco" or something... I should've known then....

As it is, upon closer examination at home, I noticed the Green Terror I ...

arrrgh! I know what happened! I never spell it pl*co! I always spell it out! Never again!

I've kept a bushy nose and L124 with no problems in the past, so when I saw this Gold Nugget glowing like plutonium at the LFS, I slapped down my $50 with little to no deliberation.

He was only about 3" so I decided to grow him out in my planted 10 gallon. Other inhabitants were an Otocinclus sp ...
